Speaking Friday in the northeastern city of Targovishte, Chobanov noted that a number of indicators had improved since the beginning of 2014 and that there was an upturn in the business environment and even in the sphere of construction.
He said that there was an uptick in retail trade and that consumer trust had also gone up.

He made clear that the BDB office in Targovishte would have a staff of at least two people who would present the entire range of services of the Bank and its subsidiaries.
