Economy in Bulgaria

What is the economy in Bulgaria like?

Expert

Verified

Bulgaria was rather hesitant in terms of embracing market reforms. Its economy suffered greatly after the fall of communism with standard of living dropping drastically. In the middle of 1990’s the economy improved and reforms were applied. Economic growth has been stable and steady, ranging from 5% to 7% later in 1990s. Currently its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita is considerably above of most developing countries but still considerably lower than that of Eastern Europe's more developed economies which is not to mention the post-industrial economies of Western Europe. 15% of its GDP is still derived from agriculture, compared to less than 3% in most developed countries. Unemployment remains relatively high at almost 10% and the country receives roughly $475 billion in financial aid yearly. During the early 1990s, the country has overcome with many of the problems that have plagued the economy. Bulgaria remains ahead of most other quasi-developed or developing countries, yet lags behind other former communist nations such as the Hungary, Slovenia and Czech Republic.
