“There ought to be no excuse, for anyone, for the fact that the pace of development in this country is comparatively slow,” financier Lyubomir Datsov said for the BNR, and added that the current administration is the only one in the entire period of transition in the country to have had a 10-year term of office.

He pointed out that for seven months there has been no discussion of how the economy and public finances will be restructured after the epidemic. To make up for that, “quantitative gifts” are constantly being announced, but “we should all be aware that they are taken from our taxes, or from new loans,” Lyubomir Datsov said. In his words it is about time all long-delayed reforms were started, and the money channeled to the restructuring of the economy.
