Bulgaria's banking system is on track to surpass three billion leva in profits again this year, following the record-breaking 3.4 billion leva reported in 2023
BGN 18.3 million in profit for the first six months of this year is reported by the Bulgarian Development Bank. The increase is 20% compared to the same period of the previous year and is a result of the activation of the credit activity, the institution announced.
The Bank's portfolio grew by 7% this semester.
2018 was the strongest in the history of the banking institution, with the largest volume of attracted funds from foreign credit institutions.
The Bank finances its activities by negotiating the attraction of resources from foreign and international credit institutions as well as investment funds.
