EBRD's new strategy toward Bulgaria will be aimed at making improvements to a range of policies, including public procurement, efficient support of SMEs, diversification of energy supplies, food production and management of water resources.
It will also boost the capacity of its Fund for Local Authorities and Governments (known as FLAG), which provides assistance to municipalities backing local-level projects.
Presently, the financial institution allocates between BGN 200 and 250 M to Bulgaria.
At EBRD President Plevneliev met more than 20 Bulgarian professionals working in different sectors of the institutions.
