For the last 30 years I have worked in a union where salaries were not very high. My pension is somewhere around 710 leva. This was stated by the financier Mika Zaykova on the air of Nova TV.
“This is not a pension, this is income. If he is not my son – a lawyer in America, it will be a little difficult for me, said Zaikova. She calculated that the net income of BGN 710 is BGN 508, and the minimum salary of BGN 650 is BGN 503.
42,000 are those who work in the public sector and receive this income. 565 thousand people are in the private sector. If before the private sector was expected to receive something under the table, now it is impossible, “said Zaikova.
According to expert Stoyan Panchev, there are people who, if they have not received an increase in their salaries since last January, have become impoverished by about 10%.
Zaykova pointed out that about 1 million pensioners receive a minimum pension of BGN 370. “We are talking about about 800,000 people, if not more, who are below the poverty line. Bread has doubled, oil is 42%, everything else is 15%, “she said.
“We will certainly have higher inflation by the middle of the year than we see at the moment. From then on, it is important what will happen in Ukraine, what the World Bank will say,” Panov predicted, adding: “I expect to have more higher inflation by the middle of next year “.
“Inflation will not stop, look at the situation in Ukraine,” said Zaikova. According to her, even if we do not enter the eurozone at this time, our debt will rise. more expensive.
“Since we have a moratorium, my electricity bill has doubled without me doing anything,” she said.
