An important assessment by the members of the French-Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry regarding the possibility of the adoption of the euro in Bulgaria

The presentation of the results of the survey of FBCCI

The President of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), Mr. Tsvetan Simeonov, took part in the presentation of the survey conducted by the French-Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFB) and Ipsos Bulgaria on the business environment in Bulgaria, on April 23.

Over the years, the Chamber has participated in numerous presentations of results related to the business environment in Bulgaria. Last year, it took part in the presentation of the prestigious survey conducted by the German-Bulgarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (BG). It regularly participates as the exclusive partner for Bulgaria in the annual economic survey on business expectations in Europe, organized by the Association of European Chambers of Commerce and Industry (BG). This year, the Chamber attended the presentation of the forecast study on Bulgaria for 2025, conducted by the Austrian Trade Representation Office ADVANTAGE Austria (BG). BCCI also possesses extensive analytical data on the topic.

The conclusions and assessments from the numerous surveys on the business environment in our country conducted by foreign organizations show similar results, with minor differences.

The latest survey, conducted by the French-Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIFB) among its member companies, shows that the French business community considers the possibility of adopting the euro in Bulgaria as highly positive for the business environment. For Bulgaria, the French assessment should be regarded as particularly significant, as France and its business sector were among the first to start using the euro as a currency back in 1999, and the country is one of the largest economies in Europe and the world.

The position of the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) on the importance of the euro for better integration of the Bulgarian business with the prosperous European economy aligns with the results of the survey among the French business community. The Chamber believes that it will be of great benefit to both the citizens and business itself. Society must distance itself from populists and demagogues who sow division and doubts about the introduction of the euro, and focus on the facts coming from authoritative sources.
