Deputy PM Kuneva: Economy Tops Bulgaria's Agenda in 2015

The economy will top Bulgaria's agenda in 2015, and the primary concern is to create a favourable environment for businesses to prosper, Meglena Kuneva, Deputy Prime Minister responsible for Coordination of EU Policies and Institutional Affairs, told Bulgarian National Radio on Sunday.

Kuneva said the demands raised by business people can serve as an action plan for the government. Such demands concern the administrative environment, electronic government (which by now has become embarrassing to list among the political priorities, she said), and the judicial reform.

The sad effects of the lack of those three conditions are that enterprising people feel discouraged and that the education and health care systems are not used to give educated and healthy people good prospects for personal development at home or elsewhere in Europe and to transform their personal success into success for society, Kuneva said.
