The pace of work we have set brought Sofia to leading positions in both national and international rankings in terms of employment, infrastructure security, quality of life, good education, successful business endeavors and tourist growth. Investors are attracted by Sofia’s location, good connectivity, but most of all, by the qualified and highly-educated population of the city. Sofia provides the highest standard of living in the country. For the past 10 years, Sofia has been one of the European cities with the highest GDP per capita growth. The GDP of the city makes up 40% of the total GDP for Bulgaria. Sofia’s GDP per capita is twice the national average and is gradually approaching the EU average. By the end of 2018, Sofia attracted half of the foreign investments in Bulgaria, totaling EUR 12.4 billion, or EUR 9 800 per resident - three times the average for the country. A big share of the investment is directed towards high value-added sectors.

INTRODUCTION This Transparency International – Bulgaria investigation has an exceptional nature. In its practice of observing and investigating privatization and investment projects initiated by the Bulgarian state during the last seven years, Transparency International has always followed the rules, which our international organization applies in its cooperation with the democratic state institutions around the world. These rules include an invitation and the establishment of official relations with the Government in the specific project or contract, the concluding of a cooperation agreement, on the grounds of which our experts gain access to the official documentation, against a confidentiality clause until the final concluding of the deal. The process ends with the publishing of an official report of our organization, which contains an assessment regarding the compliance with the criteria for transparency and legality of the procedures and the final results of the deal. Transparency International’s positive assessment has always been a reliable certificate for the ability of the state institutions to restrict corruption and the conflict of interest in public relations.

  • NGO Comments on Bulgarian Operational Program Transport and the List of Transport Priority Projects for the Period 2007-2013
    NGO Coalition for sustainable use of EU funds in Bulgaria e-mail: eufundsbg @ bluelink . net www.bluelink. info / eu - funds NGO comments on Bulgarian Operational Program Transport and the list of transport priority projects for the period 2007-2013 I. General overview We, the undersigned NGOs, welcome that for the first time the analytical part of the Operational Program on Transport (OPT)1 takes account of the environmental impact of the transport modes. We appreciate that the assessment of the current situation of the transport modes clearly highlights the problem with the continuous growth of the freight and passenger road transport on account of the drastic drop in the use of railway and public transport. We completely agree that development of the sustainable transport sector should be an overall goal of the OPT. However, we see a big gap between the specific goals and selected operational priorities. The gap becomes even bigger when we compare the list of indicative projects and priority for 2007-2013 and the specific goals and the overall goal. The proposed operational priorities together with the money allocations and the list of priority projects will not lead to a reverse in the already existing dangerous trends and will not move the country towards a transport system that is able to support the sustainable development of Bulgaria. Analysis of the current situation gives the impression that in order for the Bulgarian transport sector to be put on a sustainable track the majority of the state and EU funds in the near future should be used for development of the competitive railway transport, intermodal infrastructure and public transport.
