"Reflecting the fall in investment and private consumption, domestic demand declined abruptly, driving down indirect tax revenue, which account for more than 40% of government revenue in Bulgaria," the EC said in the assessment.
"Odražavajući pad investicija i privatne potrošnje, unutrašnja potražnja je naglo pala, čime je spustila indirektne poreske prihode koji čine preko 40 odsto vladinih prihoda u Bugarskoj", navodi se u oceni EK.
