Thus, the revenue part increases by BGN 2.5 billion and the expenditure part by BGN 2.3 billion.

For the first time, funds have been allocated to compensate for the losses of air carriers and tour operators. 
BGN 320 million have been allocated for payment of part of the unpaid funds for constructions of the Road Structure Agency; for healthcare - BGN 225 million; for dealing with the migrant crisis - BGN 60 million. 
The current measures 60/40 and “Save me” in support of business and workers in the conditions of an epidemic continue almost unchanged.
