At the moment, the interest in investments in Bulgaria is quite serious, the acting minister of innovation and growth Rosen Karadimov told journalists in Blagoevgrad, who today met with the municipal leadership of Blagoevgrad in connection with the possibilities of attracting investors to the regional center, BTA reported.
When asked by a journalist what kind of representatives and what kind of business are interested in Bulgaria, Minister Karadimov answered that these are mainly representatives from China, who have many projects, Turkish investors are also very active. Investment ideas are mainly related to green energy, he added.
Bulgaria is attractive with low taxes, an educated workforce and good logistics, Karadimov also said. He added that the entire trend in relation to investment interest, which is going in Europe, is in the opposite direction, which is why Bulgaria cannot remain aloof from these processes. “Your energy carriers cannot be four times more expensive than in America, and you do not expect key industrial enterprises from Europe to transfer to America,” the Minister of Innovation and Growth also said. He added that the Bulgarian economy has a satellite – serving nature of these large enterprises, but there is a possibility that this activity will be carried out by Mexican enterprises in the coming years. “We must see these dangers very clearly and henceforth create as attractive conditions as possible in order to overcome this trend. It can be overcome,” the acting minister pointed out. According to him, industrial parks are one way to overcome this trend.
