/ world today news/ The problem with the National Revenue Agency and the “Customs” Agency is institutional – it is apparently rooted in the integration of the system, former Deputy Minister of Finance Lyubomir Datsov said in an interview for BNT in a comment on the news from today’s government meeting – that Prime Minister Borisov will probably propose the merger of the two structures. According to him, their activity can be improved with a unified information system.
The high level of smuggling is the result not of the work of customs, but of the support of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the services that provide an “umbrella” over illegal imports, said Datsov.
I am not sure that the merger of the National Revenue Service and customs will change anything, said the economist Georgi Angelov. The problems are rather elsewhere, for example in the measuring instruments. The merger of the two structures is a matter of political will, and if there is it, it can happen now, he added.
Datsov and Angelov also commented on the “KTB” case. For me, the case ended a few months ago, said Lyubomir Datsov. There are several laws in the National Assembly that destroy the banking sector as a whole. We must look at the whole sphere, not just an individual bank. In my opinion, the CTB does not have a significant impact on the economic system, rather it undermines its development by introducing an additional dose of instability, added the former deputy finance minister.
Someone needs to take responsibility for draining the KTB to make it clear that such things cannot be done. No one has yet been convicted in the case, and a new director of “Banking Supervision” has not been appointed for more than a year. Things in the case are moving in the right direction, but it is happening very slowly, Angelov said.
