Carriers experience difficulties due to expensive fuel

The rise of fuel prices is putting strong pressure on the transport sector in Bulgaria and making it difficult for carriers to work. Companies are facing shortage of capital and difficulties in renegotiating prices with customers.

The increased costs are already starting to be passed on to final prices, Dimitar Dimitrov, executive director of the Chamber of Road Carriers, told Bloomberg TV Bulgaria. The lack of adequate measures by the state further complicates the situation. The increase in transport costs is already leading to an increase in the prices of goods and food, Dimitrov added.
