From a business point of view, we are completely ready for the euro. Membership in the eurozone completes Bulgaria's European integration. This was commented by the Chairman of the Board of the Bulgarian Industrial Chamber Georgi Mitrev in the program “Face to Face“ on bTV after the central program News.
“The advantages for business and for every Bulgarian citizen are many – financial and currency stability, facilitation of trade, promotion of investments that will enter the Bulgarian budget and treasury“, Mitrev also said.
“Currency-wise, we are stable now, because our lev is linked to the euro and our stability is thanks to the euro. It is much better to be with the second most stable currency in the world. This way we will attract people with capital to invest their money“, he added.
According to him, raising the topic of the euro is positive and this can help dispel unfounded fears and doubts about the euro.
“Anyone can calculate and all traders are obliged to announce the price in both leva and euro when we introduce it“, he added.
“Membership in the eurozone will bring lower interest rates on loans. We will repay less than we have so far, because of the low interest rate. People are worried because of manipulative claims“, the expert explained.
According to him, the Bulgarian lev is directly linked to the euro and now he pointed to real estate and car transactions as an example. According to him, a quick information campaign is needed.
