This is how the governor of the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB), Dimitar Radev, assessed the outgoing 2024 in an interview with the “24 Chasa” newspaper, on the occasion of Banker’s Day marked on December 6.
“Uncertainty will continue at least until the domestic political crisis is resolved and there is more clarity on the prospects for resolving external conflicts and their impact on trade and economic activity,” Radev said about the challenges in the sector.
