Young Bulgarians are increasingly turning to financial markets instead of investing in property, according to a European survey conducted by a global fintech company.
The survey, carried out between January and July with 1,000 respondents, shows that although 39% of Bulgarians still prefer investing in real estate, more than 40% of people under the age of 34 choose to invest in shares and exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
