Bulgaria is making good progress toward joining the Eurozone, as inflation is decreasing towards the threshold set by the criteria, European Bank for Reconstruction and Development President Odile Renaud-Basso said in an interview with BTA.
The economy, in general, continues to grow at a solid pace compared to the rest of the EU, said Odile Renaud-Basso, recalling the bank's forecast for Bulgaria’s GDP growth of 2.4% in 2025. The EBRD President also highlighted the vulnerabilities stemming from changes in the global environment, including trade tensions.
Odile Renaud-Basso discussed with President Rumen Radev the promotion of investments and the expansion of transport and energy connectivity. She is visiting Sofia in the context of the preparation of the EBRD’s new five-year strategy for the country.
The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development has more than doubled its investments in Bulgaria in 2024 to EUR 272 million.
