In 2020, Bulgaria's real GDP decreased by 4.4%. This was due to the negative net exports and to a lesser extent to a decline in private investment, the latest macroeconomic forecast of the Bulgarian National Bank reads.
In the previous forecast made in September last year, the country’s GDP was expected to decline by 5.5%. Economic activity is expected to grow by 3.7% in 2021 and by 3.6% in 2022, reaching pre-pandemic levels in 2022, BNB forecasts.
