The Bulgarian state is increasing its participation in the Bulgarian Development Bank - BDB. The capital increase is by EUR 350 million. The funds are given to the BDB for the implementation of support measures for small and medium-sized enterprises affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim is to limit the risks of liquidity crises and to offer preventive support to businesses also by sharing risks with commercial banks in the country. The BDB will provide access to financing to support turnover and operations, will provide portfolio guarantees to banks, and they will provide more flexible conditions for business loans, over a specified period and under individual conditions based on each case, the Bulgarian cabinet has announced.
