The Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) booked a record low trading turnover in the last session of the week. It remains only to be seen whether investors' wariness will continue until the end of the month when EC's report on Bulgaria will be published and the companies will make their H1 results public. Let us not forget that the holiday season already kicked off.

The value of the deals sealed on BSE's regulated market stood at a record low 1.95 mln leva today. A total of 114 issues were traded on the day with 47 of the companies ending the day with gains. The value of the transactions sealed on the over-the-counter market amounted to 531,000 leva.
