The crisis is also an opportunity for the development of technologies, said the caretaker Minister of Economy Traycho Traykov.
COVID, for example, created the possibility of remote work, which is still recommended now, he explained and added that he also advises all employers to resort to this measure. "There is nothing wrong with it", Traykov told BNT.
He said that there are fuel stocks. According to him, the release of quantities from our reserve will not affect prices.
"The caretaker government's aid of 20 euros is not for people with expensive cars. The 20 euros are for people who meet the criteria and people who need it - people with low incomes", explained the Minister of Energy Traycho Traykov.
Traycho Traykov stated that VAT will not be reduced. The reason is that this is a measure that will not work.
"A ceiling on fuel profits can be introduced if there is a signal from regulators about how fuel prices are moving. Everything is monitored on a daily basis," he specified.
The Energy Minister called for not idealizing the purchase of natural gas or other types of fuel from Russia.
