The national average wage will go beyond BGN 1000 in 2017, Vasil Velev, the head of the Bulgarian Industrial Capital Association (BICA), has said.
Bulgaria is also the country where incomes have grown at the fastest pace over the past 10 years compared to the rest of the EU, Velev has told the Bulgarian National Radio.

National statistics suggested late last year the average monthly wage was BGN 937 at the end of 2015.
