More than 20% of small and medium-sized businesses in Bulgaria are finding it difficult to resume production in the Covid crisis. They have infrastructure and staff, but no working capital. More than 75% of small and medium-sized enterprises have non-performing bank loans and only about 15% of them have found new opportunities for development in the crisis. The data are from a study by the National Association of Small and Medium-sized Businesses.

Companies related to online services, retail trade, home deliveries and digitalization are successfully going through the pandemic, but those in the traditional sectors are suffering severe consequences and do not even have a strategy on how to limit their losses, the chairman of the association Eleonora Negulova told BNR.
