They added that in such a difficult and intense period, this is an even stronger sign of the will to deepen the dialogue with business and use the expertise of business in making every important decision.

During the meeting, issues related to the gas crisis were discussed. The Economic Initiative Union welcomed the launch of a survey among businesses, which should give the experts from the Economic Department and the representatives of the Energy Headquarters at the Ministry of the Interior a picture of how many Bulgarian enterprises use gas, and how many can switch to another energy source in a crisis situation.
