The EU has taken economic measures to tackle the effects of the pandemic. Using reserves of the European budget, for example, funds have been allocated and Bulgaria has received about 2.7 billion levs (1.4 billion euros) for emergency spending - healthcare and business support.

But it needs an anti-crisis economic headquarters with the participation of all institutions and leading political forces, in order to draw up a national plan. According to Stanishev, the economic measures being taken in the country at the moment were partial.
