Unfortunately, Bulgaria isn't Belgium, which hasn't had a government for 591 days and has left the business unaffected. Some of the problems that companies expect to be solved are legally solvable. We need a parliament. From this point of view, it is imperative what kind of people we elect and how economically and legally literate they are because some of our troubles stem from extremely clumsy written and voted laws.

The Bulgarian entrepreneur lives in an aggressive environment. We're really swimming in a pool of sulfuric acid: a horrible business environment, horrible business practices. You have obstacles of all kinds and sizes. Once you get very big and come into the sight of the economic police, they let you know there's a good uncle who wants to buy you, but you should reduce your price a bit. Еxpropriation of businesses...

The processes that will build the future economy have already begun around us, and there is a 100 per cent consensus here that this is a digital economy. The coronavirus catalyzed the evolution of digital technologies, and they literally blew up during the pandemic.

We're witnessing a fear of being an entrepreneur. There has always been fear about whether you would be a successful or unsuccessful entrepreneur, but people had the firm position to be one. Now, in this situation, the temptation is to stop accepting the burden of risking yourself, your idea, your family, your money and assets, achieving some entrepreneurial goal. Suddenly, the desire to be a public servant is much more appealing and cosy.

Instead of administratively determining income, the state should support businesses recovering and operating in the new conditions. That's where the money for higher incomes comes from.

Public property and public prosperity are both created by Bulgarian entrepreneurs.

If there is no direct connection between people and a clear vision of managing the crisis together, some personal decisions happen that turn out to be wrong for everyone. For example, people start saving themselves and stop thinking about employees and everything else. They put themselves first before they ultimately give up.

Media pluralism has been established. It is a fact. There are all kinds of media - real, fake, conservative. What is distorted is that there is no direct connection between the integrity of the press, its advertising revenue and, respectively, its survival as a business entity. There is no media economy, no media capitalism.

We will all begin to re-evaluate our economic development in different ways. Perhaps the successful models of the economy in the 21st century were born in the depths of crises.

Until that day, we were an economy of growth - slower or faster. Right now, the big challenge is that we are becoming a reserve economy.

At the moment, people no longer trust anyone or anything. Even the reassuring and often trustworthy words of experts. Trust, the institutional one, has disappeared because of all the battles between the institutions in Bulgaria. They ruined their own authority and weight.

People are totally hesitant and are starting to experience themselves as unrepresented in the management of the state. This time presupposes the emergence of new political projects, and they are visible.

Companies do not have a "soul", but they have a commercial reputation! And they do not have enough opportunities to protect it from slanderous allegations and publications. Despite repeated changes to the Penal Code during all the years of democracy, it has not evolved into criminal law suitable for a modern market economy. That is why it is sporadic to be awarded compensation for non-pecuniary damages caused to companies.

What he used to say to BIA's team
"Be calm! The sun will rise without the rooster, too."
(meaning that something inevitably will happen with or without someone's insignificant presence)
…yes, the sun is rising! But we miss the rooster so much!
