BNB Governor Dimitar Radev will sign the request for an extraordinary convergence report on the fulfillment of the criteria for eurozone membership. This is clear from his response in an interview with BTA, in which Radev announced that the Central Bank would contribute a little over 400,000 euros to the budget at the expense of the excess of revenues over expenses of the BNB and at the expense of interest payments to the budget.

The BNB is currently analyzing the draft budget for 2025, after which it will send its comments to the Ministry of Finance.
