Kristalina Georgieva: Bulgaria needs stable finances and more innovation
Published
Kristalina Georgieva, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, issued important recommendations to Bulgaria in a recent interview with BTA. According to her, our country needs to focus on building stronger fiscal buffers to protect the economy from future unexpected shocks.
A key emphasis in her statement is the need to reduce the budget deficit, which currently reaches 5 percent of the gross domestic product. Georgieva emphasizes that one-off measures to patch up the budget are not a long-term and systemic solution for the country's financial stability.
In addition to financial discipline, the expert also points out the importance of technological development. She calls on Bulgarian businesses to start using artificial intelligence more actively in their operations. According to her, this is a key way to increase the productivity and competitiveness of companies in the international market.
In conclusion, Kristalina Georgieva's advice shows that Bulgaria's future economic success depends on the balance between prudent management of public funds and the bold implementation of modern technologies in work processes.
