A worsening business climate has been observed in the Bulgarian construction, retail trade and service sectors.

Construction activity forecasts for the next 3 months are more favorable.

The business climate in retail trade decreased by 1.9% in February. However, retailers have expressed optimism in their prognosis for the next three months.
