“We are reducing the salaries of the three experts of the Supervisory Board of the Bulgarian Development Bank five times, from 10 thousand to 2 thousand BGN, or 5 times, because the Bulgarian Development Bank is not functioning well and is not managed efficiently. Minister of Innovation and Growth Alexander Pulev in an interview with “More of the day” on BNT this evening, adding that intelligent people with biographies work in the bank supervision, but with this move the ministry as principal is sending a clear message that it wants better results and better control .
