“The experience of the Ministry of Finance of the Netherlands in developing and implementing anti-inflationary economic policies is of utmost importance to us, especially in the context of Bulgaria’s priority to join the euro area from 1 January 2024”, Finance Minister Rositza Velkova said at the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding on Technical Cooperation between the Ministry of Finance of the Republic of Bulgaria and the Ministry of Finance of the Netherlands, held today in Brussels. 

Minister Rositza Velkova expressed her confidence that the signing of the Memorandum would continue the useful cooperation between the two Ministries, as well as the exchange of information on the policies, legislation, infrastructure and services in the areas of responsibilities of the two institutions.
