The Bulgarian state has placed two 2.5 billion-euro loans on international markets with maturities of 10 and 30 years. The yield is 0.4% for 10-year bonds and 1.48% for 30-year bonds. This has been a record low interest rate ever received by the country, according to the position of the largest trade union in Bulgaria - CITUB.

According to us, this new debt is a serious request for state participation in the economy, especially in the conditions of an unprecedented economic crisis.
