What distinguishes Bulgaria from other countries in the region is that they have higher levels of investment, better rule of law, and stable governments, Petar Ganev from the Institute for Market Economics said for BGNES. 75% of people's income comes from the private sector, and 25% from the public sector. 500,000 people are employed in the industry.

The overall package we offer the investor - industrial zone, location, staff qualification programmes - is still lagging behind", said Petar Ganev.
