Finance Minister: Eurozone Entry Boosts Bulgaria’s Standing for Investors

Jerusalem, 29 April, 2026 (TPS-IL) -- Sofia (BTA) – Caretaker Finance Minister Georgi Klisurski said that at the beginning of the year, Bulgaria sent one of its strongest messages to the investment community through its eurozone accession, making this country an even more attractive and secure destination for investors. He spoke at the opening of the “Investor Day 3.0: Mind the Growth” forum of the Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) on Wednesday.

Klisurski said that even at the end of 2025, BSE began to record higher growth, and expressed hope that this trend would continue in 2026 and beyond.

Pointing out that the integration of European capital markets will be one of the main topics of his discussions with finance ministers from the Eurogroup and the EU in Brussels next week, Klisurski said he would advocate for accelerating the process of integrating capital markets to make them larger, deeper and more attractive, while also defending the importance of local and national capital markets.

“They are particularly important, especially for start-ups and small and medium-sized companies, which form the backbone of the economy and economic growth,” the Finance Minister said.

Klisurski highlighted the current dynamic geopolitical situation, which, in his words, is shaking global financial markets.

“Geopolitics and financial markets are closely intertwined,” he said, expressing hope that Bulgaria’s financial community would use these turbulent times as an opportunity to take more risks, make more meaningful investments and pursue new, unexpected and positive growth opportunities.
