Urgent measures are in need to be taken in order to boost foreign trade, aid the business enter new markets and support the export- oriented enterprises. The need of a full-scope state policy in the electricity sector makes financial stability of the sector as well as improvement of the work efficiency of State enterprises a priority. After we present the real situation in the sector - where do the obligations in it come from and how will they develop in the future – we will create a program consisting of a number of measures. We made a decision to create an Energy Board as a permanent consultative body to Council of Ministers in which all concerned parties will take part. Bulgarian energy industry will be healed through a consensus between all concerned parties. We will regain the beneficiaries’ trust and the trust of the partners under the OP ‘Competitiveness’ to ensure that the means get to the Bulgarian business in a just and effective way. The total budget of the new operational programme ‘Innovations and competitiveness’ will reach 1.39 billion euro. There is a plan for creation of a Guarantee fund during the next programming period: 2014 – 2020. Thus one of the main problems of the business will be solved – the lack of enough collateral if crediting is needed. стр. 2 от 26 InvestBulgaria Agency (IBA), 31 Aksakov Str., Sofia 1000 Tel.: (+359 2) 985-5500, Fax: (+359 2) 980-1320 e-mail: [email protected], http://www.investbg.government.bg issue 8 (11) / August 2014 InvestBulgaria Agency ECONOMIC NEWS – BUSINESS, INVESTMENTS, TRADE ECONOMIC INDICATORS Bulgaria to pour BGN 1 billion in R&D in 2015 Foreign Direct Investments, Current and Financial Account Bulgaria is to spend BGN 937.9 million on innovations in 2015, almost twice the amount allocated in 2011, when the expenses for research and development amounted to BGN 429.6 million.
