Parliament has approved an increase in Bulgaria’s shareholding in the capital of the Black Sea Trade and Development Bank. At the beginning of 2023, the bank’s board of governors adopted a strategy for increasing its capital by over EUR 244 million by 2030. To keep its 13.5% shareholding, with EUR 93 million in paid-up capital, Bulgaria needs to pay another EUR 33 million in equal installments up until 2030.
The bank is the financial institution of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation organization and finances regional projects from the public and the private sector. After 1999 it has supported 39 projects in Bulgaria worth EUR 232 million, or 10.5% of all of the bank’s active operations.
