The volume of investment in the third quarter exceeded the pre-crisis level, in which the government’s and the central bank’s support and concessional loan programs, but also the inflow of foreign direct investment, played a role. The further growth will be supported by the expected increase in the transfer of EU funds, analysts told MTI.

Many factors support growth in investment, according to analysts
