An emergency meeting of the National Council for Tripartite Cooperation (NCTC) starts at 11:00 today, the government press office said.
Unions and employers will discuss three draft laws: the 2027 state budget, the budget of the national health insurance fund (NHIF) and the budget of the state social security system (SSI).
The finance ministry posted the draft state budget on its website on Friday, 6 November. It also posted the updated medium-term budget forecast for 2027–2029, which gives the reasons for the bill.
Prime minister Rumen Radev and deputy prime minister and finance minister Galab Donev outlined the main figures of the 2027 financial plan at the University of National and World Economy (UNWE).
This week the NHIF supervisory board approved the fund's draft budget. Its head, Dr Vladimir Daskalov, said the health insurance contribution stays at 8% and the budget is nearly €5.68bn.
The supervisory board of the National Social Security Institute (NSSI) approved the SSI budget. Of a total €16.5bn, €14bn is set aside for pensions, social minister Natalia Efremova told reporters.
