This will lead to real benefits, namely easier trade, more accessible financing and security in the economic environment," stressed Minister Tahov.
He emphasized that the introduction of the euro will not affect the financial resources for the Agriculture sector in any way, which are included in the Strategic Plan for the Development of Agriculture and Rural Areas for the 2023-2027 programming period, as well as the Program for Maritime Affairs and Fisheries for the 2021-2027 programming period.

"Joining the Eurozone will bring real benefits for businesses and citizens. We will have greater price transparency, facilitated trade, as well as easier access to investments. A more secure and predictable economic environment will be created, which will encourage both growth and strengthen confidence in Bulgaria as a natural economic partner.

It will accelerate the modernization of our country and create new conditions and opportunities for growth and prosperity," the Minister added.
