“According to the rules of the Eurozone waiting room, ERM II, there is a 15% margin in which a currency can move and be regarded as stableWe have been asked repeatedly whether the lev-euro exchange rate is fixed, or whether it will move within this margin,” said Vasil Todorov, secretary general of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, BCCI, for Bloomberg TV Bulgaria.

The lev-euro exchange rate is fixed now, and no changes are expected. The margin is valid for countries where the currency is still moving. According to Vasil Todorova, Bulgaria’s entry into ERM II is a firm guarantee and a signal to investors but this in no way diminishes the state’s mission to attract serious investors.
