Bulgaria’s Development Bank will finance up to 70% of the capital increase of First Investment Bank, the Bulgarian cabinet decided. The acquisition of shares in FiBank is extremely important for Bulgaria on its path to the Eurozone, Premier Borissov explained. The capital shortfall in FiBank was seen during a stress test of the European Central Bank when Sofia applied to join the Eurozone waiting room (ERM 2). Later, Fibank will buy off its shares from the state and pay interest for the credit, Premier Borissov contends. The aim of the operation is to help Bulgaria join ERM 2 by July this year, Boyko Borissov said further.
