Thursday, 22 February 2018
There are positive factors that made Bulgarians richer in the last four months of 2017. They are: sustainable growth of the economy by around 3.6 percent, increased employment rate, reduced unemployment, higher purchasing power of households. Domestic consumption has also gone up, which on its part is a key driver of the economy in this country.
This is the conclusion reached by experts from the Institute for Trade Union and Social Studies of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB) on the basis of a study of consumer prices and the cost of living in Bulgaria over past months.
