Bulgaria meets the requirements for the eurozone, said at a meeting with the active party "We continue the change" in Pazardzhik, the co-chairman of the party Assen Vassilev.
What came out as news today is that the Bulgarian National Bank and Finance Minister Temenuzhka Petkova officially announced that the deficit on an accrual basis from last year will be below 3%. We have inflation for March, we continue to be within the criterion. In order for us not to have the eurozone next January, someone must do something to stop it from happening, commented Vassilev, who is also a former finance minister.
"Regarding the effects of adopting the euro, what can be put on a truck will not change its price. There will be inflation in services - if they charge you 25 leva. for a haircut, they won't charge you 12.50 euros, but they'll round it up to 15", explained Asen Vassilev. This can be expected in all services and here the state cannot impose full control, he further explained.
According to him, the other effect, which the Croatians have also confirmed, is that there has been an increase in property prices.
Most likely, from July 1, the prices of all goods will be announced twice, this also applies to all receipts and taxes, the co-chair of "We continue the change" also indicated, quoted by BTA.
