The Acquisition and Leveraged Finance Review - Edition 9: Chapter Bulgaria

Today's complex geopolitical situation is affecting the Bulgarian financial sector.

This is driven by the entry on the market of foreign lenders structured as alternative investment funds that are prohibited from extending classic loans but may invest in bonds issued by corporate borrowers.

Read a brief overview of the legal framework regarding acquisition financing in Bulgaria.
