The purpose of the agreements is to support small and medium-sized Bulgarian companies, BNR reporter Marta Mladenova has informed. At the ceremony, Minister of Finance Assen Vassilev said that "at a time of rising interest rates, Bulgarian small and medium-sized enterprises will have access to loans with lower interest rates, so that their investment programs would not suffer".
