Deputy Economy and Industry Minister Nevena Lazarova said the goal is to ensure a smooth, transparent transition to the euro. She participated in an information event in Vratsa on Tuesday as part of the National Information Campaign for the introduction of the euro in Bulgaria.

Lazarova pointed out that this is a strategic step with long-term economic benefits, enhancing security for businesses while facilitating trade, travel and economic activity. She emphasized that the first positive effects are already being reported, namely, an improved credit rating for Bulgaria and increased trust in the country on international markets.
