Bulgaria is expected to be an attractive destination for investment and doing business thanks to its favorable business environment and low tax level. The Bulgarian government’s policy is to build and maintain stable macro economy and finance, and boost economic growth, in addition to improving administrative environment and keeping the lowest tax level in the EU.
Bulgaria also encourages investment in solutions to increase access to finance for small- and medium-sized enterprises, reforming vocational training and education and enhancing interaction between universities and businesses.
