It offers interesting opportunities for U.S. companies in many sectors, among them infrastructure development, IT and agriculture. Bulgaria boasts Europe’s lowest public deficit rates and it grew at a rate of 2% in the first quarter of 2015, despite last year’s collapse of its fourth largest bank (Corporate Commercial Bank). Bulgaria has the lowest tax rates in the region –a 10% rate both on personal income and corporate income – as well as a bilateral treaty that allows for the avoidance of double- taxation with the United States. The global financial crisis slowed investment growth, particularly in the real estate and manufacturing sectors, but as the European economy recovers, investment may pick up in certain sectors.

Bulgaria in figures® – 10th edition Dear business partners, I have the privilege to present to your attention the 10th anni ver­ sary edition of the brochure “Bulgaria in figures” of the Bul ga rian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI), which reports on the most important indicators of the country’s eco nomic development. In it you will find information about the macro eco nomic data of the country, education, tourism, and other sectors. We are pleased that Bulgaria has not only maintained, but also managed to improve its position in a number of international rankings. Our country has once again registered higher GDP growth than the EU average. This, coupled with the stable mac ro economic indicators ­ low government debt, budget surplus, accompanied by some of the lowest corporate and personal income tax rates in the EU, makes Bulgaria an attractive invest ment destination. We remind investors that they can benefit from the opportunity of a zero percent corporate income tax in regions with 25% or higher unemployment rate than the country’s average, as well as a number of other incentives: http://www.investbg.government.bg/ en/pages/11-investment-incentives-184.html.
