Financial group Eurohold Bulgaria AD has experienced significant growth in the first quarter this year, due to rising revenues in insurance, car sales and car leasing.
Consolidated operating revenues rose 16 percent to $169 million in the first quarter, according to a press release on the Eurohold website. Euroins Insurance Group, the insurance portion of Eurohold, experienced the most growth at 44 percent during the first quarter compared to the same time last year.
