President Rumen Radev discussed the current challenges facing the global economy and their regional and national impact at a meeting with the Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund, Kristalina Georgieva. The meeting was held at the initiative of the IMF Managing Director and among the highlights of the talks were the need to increase economic growth after the COVID-19 pandemic and to overcome the negative effects on the economy stemming from military conflicts in adjacent regions, as well as the challenges arising from the increasing application of artificial intelligence.
