The national plan for recovery and sustainability has to be submitted to the European Commission / EC / by the end of April.

This is one of the demands of the nationally representative organizations of employers and workers - the Association of Industrial Capital in Bulgaria, the Bulgarian Industrial Association, the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, the Confederation of Employers and Industrialists in Bulgaria, CITUB, and Podkrepa.

According to the business, this is the only way in which our country will be able to receive funds from the plan for July, August, and September.

Both employers and unions are pushing for the extension of state measures in support of the business.

According to the President of CITUB Plamen Dimitrov, the national budget reports a deficit of over BGN 659 million for the first quarter of 2021, which has last occurred in 2014.

He questions the possibility of the treasury to continue financing the measures to support the economy, employment, and income.

An express survey of the Bulgarian Industrial Association shows that 74% call for the continuation of economic measures for employment, the Chairman of the organization Radosvet Radev commented.

He pointed to the ending bank moratorium as a problem. Radev was a guest on the show "Direct".
