We were pleased to host a truly insightful discussion today on “Bulgaria in the Eurozone – Perspectives for the Economy and Society”.
Our sincere thanks to Mr. Metodi Metodiev, Deputy Minister of Finance of the Republic of Bulgaria, for his comprehensive presentation and for clearly outlining the economic priorities and expected impact of joining the Eurozone.
We also wish to thank the representatives of the diplomatic community for contributing valuable European perspectives to the discussion: His Excellency Pontus Melander, Ambassador of Sweden, Her Excellency Kirsti Pohjankukka, Ambassador of Finland, His Excellency Flemming Stender, Ambassador of Denmark, and Mrs. Venceslava Yanchovska, Consul General of Norway to Bulgaria.
We were glad to also hear the banking sector perspective, shared by representatives of Postbank and UniCredit Bulbank, who highlighted the financial risks, opportunities, and anticipated transition dynamics for businesses and citizens.
Special thanks to our moderator, Ms. Zoya Paunova, Honorary Consul of Sweden to Bulgaria and Board Member of Swecham, for guiding the conversation with depth, clarity, and an open outlook.
The dialogue was dynamic, thoughtful, and enriched by the active participation of business representatives and institutional stakeholders. It is clear that Bulgaria’s path toward the Eurozone remains a topic of strategic significance for the economy and society.
Thank you to all who joined us.
We look forward to continuing this conversation. 🇧🇬🇪🇺🇸🇪
