The Bulgarian cabinet will provide financial support to the businesses affected by the ongoing coronavirus crisis via the Bulgarian Development Bank. The bank will receive up to EUR 250 million from the state if necessary. The state will temporarily pay 60% of the wages of employees who are at risk of redundancies. We cannot emerge unaffected from the crisis. Some businesses will stop existing. Perhaps, unemployment will rise, this country’s Minister of Finance Vladislav Goranov said. The fisc cannot replace the economy. All business activities are permitted apart from the measures which aim to prevent congestion, Minister Goranov underlined.
