Rumen Radev, AIKB: It would be a risk for us if an agreement is not reached on the sale of Lukoil's assets  - 1

There will be no extension of the deadline for the lev-euro transition. This was stated to bTV by the former Minister of Energy and now Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Association of Industrial Capital in Bulgaria (AIKB), Rumen Radev, quoted by novini.bg.
"For small traders, this was a slightly frustrating process. Some even wrote on their stores that they would work until February to avoid the process."

Radev added that private business has not stopped raising wages in the sector.

"Lukoil"

"It would be a risk for us if an agreement is not reached for the sale of "Lukoil" assets. Having a long-term capital in an investor such as "Carlisle" is a good solution."
According to him, the investment company has certainly had a conversation about acquiring the assets of the refinery in Burgas. He believes that talks are continuing with other interested buyers of the oil giant.
