In 11 years, Bulgaria has increased its per capita net assets three times, to 9,586 euro, PM Boyko Borissov wrote on Facebook, citing a survey by German insurance company Allianz.

Thanks to the good results in recent years Bulgarian households and the economy are prepared for the crisis. This is not something that should reassure us. A sensible financial policy, the fight against contraband and investments have enabled us to, once again, raise salaries in the budget sector by another 10%, Boyko Borissov writes.

He adds that the government will give pensioners an additional 25 euro a month until the end of the pandemic, and will continue to pursue its policies for assisting businesses, which have helped save 300,000 jobs.
