The analyzers from the financial institution, which is a majority owner of the Bulgarian Post bank (postbank.bg), claim that the temp of the slowdown of Bulgarian economic activity is much less significant than in other countries in the region.

According to the analysis and prognosis department of “Eurobank EFG”, the shrinking of the Bulgarian economics will have a positive influence on the levels of inflation. The deficit of the current account is expected to halve and reach 12% of the GDP.
