The Governor of the Bulgarian National Bank, Dimitar Radev has received a grand award on the occasion of Banker's Day. The Banker of the Year 2020 award was presented to him by the editor-in-chief of the Banker newspaper, Bistra Georgieva. The BNB governor was awarded as recognition of Bulgaria's accession to the euro-zone waiting room, BNT has reported.

"This is a recognition that I accept not only personally, but also as a recognition of what the entire banking sector has done over the past year. I mean not only the entry into the Banking Union and the Exchange Rate Mechanism, but also everything that my colleagues have done in the banking sector to overcome the consequences of the crisis," the BNB Governor said at the ceremony.
