Egyptians can visit Bulgaria with no covid paperwork + FRA joins financial literacy group

Fancy a trip to Bulgaria? It’s now sans-covid paperwork. Starting today travelers arriving to Bulgaria from Egypt no longer have to show any coronavirus-related documents, including proof of vaccination. The move also applies to travelers coming from Turkey, Israel, and a handful of Bulgaria’s neighbors in eastern Europe — and to NATO troops arriving in Bulgaria amid the war in Ukraine. (Statement)

Other things we’re keeping an eye on this morning:

  • The Financial Regulatory Authority has joined the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development’s International Network on Financial Education, an initiative launched in 2002 to improve financial literacy. (Statement)
  • The Planning Ministry and MIT’s Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab (J-PAL) have launched the Egypt Impact Lab, which will work to connect academics and government partners to strengthen our poverty alleviation policies. (Press Release)
