We are being criticized for not giving more money to businesses during the crisis. But we have the most liberal measures for business at the backdrop of the Covid-19 pandemic. Only a few sectors stopped working temporarily, Minister of Economy Lachezar Borisov said in a virtual discussion on the EU Recovery and Resilience Fund for Bulgaria’s Transition.
