Mr. Boyko Atanasov, Chairman of the Financial Supervision Commission, gave an interview for the newspaper “24 Hours” “I sincerely call for focusing on the very important and stable elements of the FSC’s work over the years,” said Mr. Atanasov, emphasizing the results achieved in the non-banking financial sector – the stability of the pension insurance market, innovation in the insurance market, transparency of the capital market.

The Commission’s main function in the capital sector is to supervise participants and ensure investor security. Mr. Atanasov emphasized that every potential investor must first check the FSC’s website to find out whether the person to whom he will entrust the management of his funds is licensed by the Financial Supervision Commission.

The FSC Chairman stressed that the insurance sector is going through the crisis smoothly and successfully, given the spread of the pandemic and the increased risks in the financial markets.

Regarding the pension insurance market, Mr. Boyko Atanasov shared that “the investment portfolios of the pension funds are well structured and highly diversified. They also have adequate reserves to guarantee the payment of lifelong pensions.”

Mr. Atanasov noted that the FSC coordinated the overall process of preparing and coordinating the National Plan for the introduction of the euro in the non-banking financial sector.
