Public support for the euro in Bulgaria exceeds opposition

Through 2,000 information events and meetings, the level of public awareness regarding Bulgaria’s accession to the eurozone has reached around 80%, and public support for the euro now consistently exceeds the share of opponents of the single currency, Bulgaria’s outgoing Minister of Finance Temenuzhka Petkova said in Brussels.

Bulgaria’s transition to the euro is proceeding successfully, and all key systems are functioning normally- the cash supply is ensured, payments are being made without interruption, payment systems are operating steadily and the administration, businesses, and citizens are adapting without significant difficulties, Temenuzhka Petkova told her eurozone counterparts.
