The young finance minister’s self-confidence and slight arrogance create complexes in his opponents, but his colleagues insist that he is among the few who know how it works.
a country
An appearance by Vladislav Goranov at the CITUB union headquarters in his role as GERB’s economic expert inflamed and shocked those with a long-standing political complex of the young Bulgarian finance minister. And the longest since 1989, and even further back, after Belcho Belchev since the establishment of this most important ministry in a country since 1879.
In fact, the first. Although CITUB leader Plamen Dimitrov announced him as finance minister on Monday. He was one of three in the last Boyko Borissov government who resigned amid protests. GERB then “packed” Goranov, Mladen Marinov and Emil Karanikolov with the explanation that “the party’s regional coordinators called for the prime minister to be released to refute suggestions of direct dependence on the MRF.”
Only Vladi Goranov of the three publicly asked for examples to confirm the connection in legislative activity with Ahmed Dogan’s party. And did not receive. However, he explained that when different voices were heard about the country’s financial system, he always sought the support of all parliamentary groups.
Only Goranov publicly announced again that he saw no reason to resign days after Bulgaria was admitted to the euro waiting room.
“For the first time since
the acceptance of
Bulgaria in the EU
We are full
support and trust
of the European institutions to merge our economy with the circulatory system of the second most important currency in the world.
If you think this is a policy failure, or that fiscal indicators in recent years have been a policy failure, then there must be complaints about me. I cannot find such reasons. “
None of Boyko Borissov’s ministers speaks with such confidence. However, Goranov is still leaving. But he does it in his own slightly arrogant way and with the visible confidence of a man who has done his job.
The nearly 44-year-old financier is used to making such sharp turns in his life and career, but so on.
In a Wikipedia against a profession, an “official” writes about him. In fact, Goranov began his career with Prime Minister Ivan Kostov in 1998. He then joined the Ministry of Agriculture, headed by his fellow Pleven citizen, Ventsislav Varbanov, as an expert on “extra-budgetary accounts and funds.”
Then he went to the Ministry of Finance, where life met him with a man from whom Goranov probably learned a lot – Kiril Ananiev, who at that time was a deputy. Finance Minister.
From 2001 to 2009, Goranov worked diligently at the Ministry of Finance, heading one of the most important departments. And eight years after the first day of work there, the ambitious young expert became a deputy minister and then a minister.
During Goranov’s tenure as finance minister, the finance ministry’s top priority was
to keep taxes
in income
of people, business profits and VAT absolutely intact.
For most funders, this is commendable because it contributes to a stable and secure business environment in the country.
This is exactly what Goranov and Prime Minister Borissov often point to as exceptionally positive. This has always been the basis of the dispute with the BSP, which wants a progressive scale of taxes and the abolition of the single tax.
Despite the normal divergent assessments, there are several indisputable facts that make the young finance minister the most successful.
The first is that from taking office until the pandemic, Goranov has kept public finances stable, the budget without deficit, inflation under control and the gross domestic product growing every year.
His second undisputed achievement is the determination to ask for and receive a “yes” from Brussels and Frankfurt for our membership of the eurozone. What is already a fact: Bulgaria is in the waiting room.
During his reign
none
rating agencies
don’t lower our grade,
and the feedback on our economy has been positive. It is also a fact that during his tenure, the share of the informal economy continued to decline and in some sectors, such as cigarettes, it is already in the single digits.
Goranov faced a tough battle with big business when he decided to put things in order and shed light on fuel prices.
There are at least three camps among his colleagues in the Ministry of Finance. One is from people who are convinced that Goranov is one of the most talented financiers to ever come through this department. And he is one of the few finance ministers who knows how the state works. Although they say that he may not be as confident.
The second camp considers Goranov to be a protégé of the strong people of the country. The third includes the most neutral, for whom Goranov is a talented financier of a difficult character, but recognized abroad among his colleagues.
Goranov likes to make sharp turns in his career. After becoming a deputy in Borissov’s second cabinet, just two days before the GERB congress, in February 2014, he announced that
leaves
Parliament,
keep
the expert
your profile
He became executive director and member of the Board of Directors of the Municipal Bank. And in the cabinet “Borisov 3” returned to the Ministry of Finance, this time as a minister.
Until July 2020, when businessman Vasil Bozhkov will assume responsibility in the dispute for the unpaid taxes of the game of the defendant today.
For a short time, Goranov disappeared from the spotlight. During this time he registered a consulting firm. Experienced attorneys probably explained to him that he was unable to advise in the financial field for at least a year and a half due to the position he held.
That is why Goranov returns as an expert in his GERB party and one of the authors of the new economic program. Unofficially, it is known that the former minister is one of those who advise at headquarters on how to more successfully organize the lists of candidates.
Although it is not on the list of former and current ministers who were brought to the fore by Boyko Borissov. Goranov is said to be leaving parliament again to maintain his expert profile.
Otherwise, his profile is that of a perfect father and husband: he already has two children and a little Sofia.
