Only 5% of the real estate of Bulgarians is insured against natural disasters, BNR’s Horizont Programme has reported.

According to a study by the Association of Bulgarian Insurers, this is mainly due to lack of knowledge about the service, lack of trust and the idea of that this is expensive insurance. At their lowest levels, prices start at 5 to 10 euros per year, with different insurers.
