Today, Bulgaria is one step closer to adopting the euro.
This will mean more investment and trade with euro area partners, and more stability and prosperity for the Bulgarian people.
Bulgaria will also take its rightful place in shaping euro area decisions.
Congratulations!

Like the meteor that wiped out the dinosaurs, humanity is having an outsized impact on our planet.
In the case of the climate crisis, we are not the dinosaurs. We are the meteor.
We are not only in danger. We are the danger.
But we're also the solution. linkedin.com/pulse/our-plane…
