In the latest ranking of the Heritage Foundation, Bulgaria placed 47th in the world when economic freedom is concerned. This country falls into the group of moderately free economic countries together with Cyprus (48th), Turkey (60th), Albania (65-th place), Montenegro (83rd place) and Bosnia and Herzegovina (92nd place).

Public finance management was good and the public debt was still among the lowest in the region, while the budget deficit continued to decline.
