Bulgaria's Ministry of Finance signed a Memorandum of Understanding for the Development of Capital Markets with the finance ministries of Croatia, Poland, Romania, Slovenia, Slovakia and North Macedonia, and Hungary’s Ministry of National Economy. The memorandum sets a framework for institutional cooperation to build deeper and more efficient capital markets across the region, reduce barriers to cross-border capital flows, and improve access to financing for businesses. The cooperation is positioned as a way to mobilise more private savings for productive investment, strengthen financing ecosystems for start-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises, and improve regional market connectivity so local issuers can reach a broader investor base and increase investment flows. Bulgaria’s Deputy Minister of Finance Metodi Metodiev took part in the signing ceremony in Zagreb.
