Bulgarian Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance Lyudmila Petkova and European Commissioner for Economy, Paolo Gentiloni, discussed the progress of Bulgaria in the implementation of the Recovery and Resilience Plan. At the meeting before today's meeting of the Eurogroup, it became clear that the European Commission will restart the period of evaluation of the implementation of reforms and investments under the second payment under the plan, as well as that Bulgaria can no longer postpone the making of a political decision on the amendments to the Recovery and Resilience Plan. Petkova stated that the caretaker government will take action to discuss and adopt the prepared changes in the Plan related to the decarbonization of the energy sector.
Minister Petkova also pointed out that the draft budget for 2025 will have a deficit of up to 3% of GDP. The commissioner pointed out that it was important not only to fulfill the convergence criteria, but also to preserve the financial stability of the country in the medium term for acceptance into the Eurozone.
