This year we will continue with the measures to support business and job creation, as the total financial resource will be over BGN 800 million - European and national funding.

This was said during the parliamentary control by the Minister of Labor and Social Policy Denitsa Sacheva.

In 2021, the 60/40 measure is financed with BGN 600 million to maintain an average of about 120,000 jobs per month.

At the end of last year, financial support under the 80/20 measure for enterprises and the self-insured was doubled to BGN 80 million, and the measure will keep the employment of about 30,000 people in transport and tourism, the minister said.
