"I categorically want to put an end to all insinuations that Bulgaria is abandoning its goal of joining the Eurozone within the next year", said Minister of Finance Temenuzhka Petkova. "There is a procedure for us to be heard in the Eurogroup in mid-February. Then we will see what the indicators are – whether Bulgaria meets the price stability criterion, and we will request a convergence report. We have not abandoned our goal of joining the Eurozone in 2026", Temenuzhka Petkova said in an interview with bTV.
"Our most important task now is to prepare a budget for 2025", Minister Petkova noted. ''There is no debate in the coalition regarding Bulgaria's membership in the Eurozone. It is recorded in the agreement that this is a leading priority", Temenuzhka Petkova said. She is optimistic that it is possible for Bulgaria to adopt the euro on January 1, 2026.
