Bulgaria is among the countries which have attracted the largest amount of investments under the so-called Juncker Plan. 

If attracted investments are compared to the GDP, the leading countries in the plan are Greece, Estonia, Lithuania, Bulgaria and Finland, Dnevnik reports referring to the press service of the European Commission.

Since July 2015, the European Fund for Strategic Investments (EFSI) dubbed the Juncker Plan has attracted 335 billion euro in extra investments in EU.

The Juncker Plan allows the group of the European Investment Bank to finance operations that are riskier compared to its usual operations. Projects supported by EFSIare markedly innovative; they are carried out by small enterprises without credit history or bring together smaller infrastructure needs by sectors and geographic reach.
