Our income grew by 9.51 lev, but costs have risen by over 63 lev
The total income per household for the first quarter of 2015 increased compared to the same period of 2014 by 0.8 percent or 9.51 lev per year. Bulgarians can no longer live with only basic salary is adamant Ivanov.

In the data of Statistics said that the rate of 2 percent GDP growth annually for the first three months of the year was achieved mainly at the expense of exports and the second element, contributed to this growth is brotoobrazuvaneto in equity. Amid all this all other economic indicators are not only lifted a, and some of them are negative, said Prof. Ivanov.
"The direct foreign investments in Bulgaria - the figure is disappointing. What boast Minister Lukarski - 317 million. Lev the first quarter of 2015 as the amount is more than four times less than foreign direct investment in the last quarter of 2014, three times less than the third quarter of 2014, "the economist said. He noted that the unemployment rate remains continuously high.

Delays in the investigation of missing assets of CCB

"As for the Bank believe that entering into an ungroomed dialogue between the leadership of the central bank and the country's political leadership. Bulgaria should keep the respect and respect for the central banking institution and any problems arising from the behavior of the leadership of the National Bank should be solved by law, which do not cause additional damage to the reputation of the Bulgarian banking system, "said Prof. Ivanov .
