IME November Events
November was a busy month for IME. We organized two major events that in our point of view are both important and interesting.
IME Alternative State Budget
On November 12, 2006 IME presented its forth Alternative State Budget for 2007 that underlie an alternative government policy which would accelerate the rates of economic development and would lead to an increase in the welfare of Bulgarian citizens.
The media coverage of the press conference was outstanding. More than 40 media (press, Internet, TV and radio) were covering the event. The presentations will be soon available in English. The Bulgarian version can be downloaded here, as well as the video from the event.
