The meeting was opened with the prediction that government spending in the Bulgaria will increase, which will lead to the fact that deficit would not shrink but rather go up. Last year the country lost one of its main advantages - after the increase of the minimum insurance income and the minimum wage. However the main topic discussed at the meeting was the one related to the education. Education is one area that is under-funded. This sphere is highly inefficient. The problems are going deep. The lack of human resources and staff comes to the fore as restraining factor. Other problems that had been identified were corruption and the lack of legal certainty.

 

BICA has become a spokesman of the real production sector. The association protects the interests of its members before the executive and legislative authorities at national and European level, affects the development of the legal framework and the policies in the economic sector, working systematically to enhance the competitiveness of Bulgarian enterprises, to create a favorable business environment and to stimulate the Bulgarian economy as a whole.
