There are things that the Bulgarian government cannot influence - food prices, oil prices, stock market prices. At most, a cabinet can influence its own budget. This was stated to BTV by Lachezar Bogdanov, Institute for Market Economics.
And the measures: "There may be a more moderate growth in wages in the public sector. In addition, there is also over-lending."
The deficit is at least 5%. The first step is to see the real situation of the fiscal and prices. The data we are looking at does not correspond to reality, commented Stoyan Panchev, TEAM.
"The official NSI data underestimate real inflation. It is supposedly 2.8 percent, but there was a study on how the data is manipulated."
There are goods that have increased in price by over 10%, said Bogdanov.
Bogdanov from IME pointed out that in order to support one sector, it must be taken from another. And he added that in good years there must be a surplus in the budget so that there can be somewhere to take from in crises.
