BULGARIA - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
Bulgaria, a former Communist
country that entered the EU on 1 January 2007, averaged more than 6% annual
growth from 2004 to 2008, driven by significant amounts of bank lending,
consumption, and foreign direct investment. Successive governments have
demonstrated a commitment to economic reforms and responsible fiscal planning,
but the global downturn sharply reduced domestic demand, exports, capital
inflows, and industrial production. GDP contracted by 5.5% in 2009, stagnated in
2010, despite a significant recovery in exports, and grew approximately 2.2% in
2011. Despite having a favorable investment regime, including low, flat
corporate income taxes, significant challenges remain. Corruption in public
administration, a weak judiciary, and the presence of organized crime continue
to hamper the country's investment climate and economic prospects.
