Investor Day is a landmark event format as it brings together investors, issuers, and all key participants in the capital market. The strong presence of government representatives at today’s forum is also of crucial importance, serving as a positive signal for maintaining the level of trust in the capital market.
Given the current geopolitical dynamics, stock exchanges may appear to be among the short-term winners. However, instability poses a serious threat to the trust that the Bulgarian Stock Exchange has built over the years. In this context, I believe that digitalization and the advancement of innovative technologies will fundamentally transform global market systems.
The preparation of the non-banking financial sector for Bulgaria’s accession to the Eurozone is progressing successfully, with nearly full readiness. I expect the remaining barriers to be lifted soon, opening the doors for European investors to access Bulgarian companies.
Going forward, the regulator will act both as a corrective and a partner — supporting and advising the development of businesses to ensure compliance with regulations. Our aim is for the investment, pension, and insurance sectors to operate in harmony, ultimately benefiting all stakeholders.

Vasil Golemanski
Chairperson of the Financial Supervision Commission
Investors trust the stability of the region and the reliability of its regulations, and the opportunities for attractive returns are real. Now is the time to make these opportunities more visible to a broader audience.
Over $92 billion have flowed into European exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in the first quarter of 2025 alone – a clear sign that Europe is currently being perceived as a winner.
Most institutional investors operate on the major exchanges. The decision to pursue a dual listing on a leading platform significantly enhances liquidity. A clear example of this is Shelly Group – their market capitalization grew substantially following their dual listing on Euro Bridge, the market we created in partnership with the Bulgarian Stock Exchange.

Caroline von Linsingen
Head of IPO & Growth Financing division, Deutsche Börse AG
The speed at which political processes and global economic balances are changing requires quick and smart decisions. This is especially true for open economies like Bulgaria’s, which has already overcome one of the key challenges for further growth – joining the Schengen Area – and now stands before the next one: the country's adoption of the euro.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Manyu Moravenov
CEO of the Bulgarian Stock Exchange
