Bulgaria's free-market economy, with a GDP of $107 billion, grows steadily. Energy, mining, and tourism lead, with petroleum and copper as key exports and imports. Poverty and corruption remain challenges. Recent efforts include euro adoption preparations and renewable energy expansion, supported by EU funds. Bulgaria leverages its strategic location and EU membership to attract investment, focusing on infrastructure and tourism to drive growth while addressing social inequalities and bureaucratic inefficiencies for sustainable development.
