Still, since 2010, the share of the regulated economy has increased by 15%, from 63.35% to 78.40%. Despite this positive trend, the informal sector in Bulgaria has a higher rate than in any other EU country.

The sectors most affected by the informal economy are services, hotels, restaurants, construction and agriculture.
