At the meeting before today's meeting of the Eurogroup, it became clear that the European Commission will restart the period of evaluation of the implementation of reforms and investments under the second payment under the plan, as well as that Bulgaria can no longer postpone the making of a political decision on the amendments to the Recovery and Resilience Plan.

Minister Petkova also pointed out that the draft budget for 2025 will have a deficit of up to 3% of GDP.
