The overall business climate indicator in Bulgaria has increased in April by 1.1 points compared to March to a level of 21.5, the National Statistical Institute announced. An improvement in the indicator was registered in industry by 4.8 points to 19.3.

A decrease in the business climate was also recorded in the services sector by 1.7 points to 10.7. In retail trade, the indicator remained at the March level of 36.5 points.
