Spiridonov contributed enthusiastic and able research assistance. William Davidson Institute Working Paper 537 Foreign banks in Bulgaria, 1875-2002 Abstract We use the analogy of ecological succession as our conceptual framework. We apply this analogy to the history of foreign banks in Bulgaria and argue that the current predominance of foreign banks is unlikely to be permanent, even without government action. Foreign banks have entered Bulgaria several times—before World War I, again after that war, and after the fall of Communism in the early 1990s. The same source countries and even some of the same banks that were present before World War II or even World War I, reappear in the 1990s. Government concern with retaining control over credit limited the foreigners’ role in the banking system. However, since 1997 the government has privatized almost all the major banks with the result that foreign banks now control over 80 per cent of the banking system’s assets.

  • Bulgaria Country Diagnostic
    Bulgaria Diagnostic By Jakov Milatovic and Mateusz Szczurek December 2019 This report was prepared by Jakov Milatovic, Principal Economist at the Economics, Policy and Governance (EPG) department at the EBRD, under the supervision of Mateusz Szczurek, the Lead Regional Economist, and analytical support of Dan Meshulam, intern at EPG. Important contributions to the analysis were made by Dimitris Sourvanos and Oleg Levitin on political economy and governance, Martin Pospisil and Federica Foiadelli on innovation, Svenja Peterson on small and medium enterprises, Philipp Paetzold and Olivia Riera on value chain analysis, Kjetil Tvedt and Susanne Wischnath on infrastructure and Marko Stermsek on labour market issues. We are grateful for guidance and comments provided by Mattia Romani (Managing Director, EPG), Artur Radziwill (Director, Country Economics and Policy) and Peter Sanfey (Deputy Director, Country Economics and Policy). We are also grateful to numerous other colleagues in EPG for helpful contributions. The report has benefited from comments from EBRD colleagues in other departments, including Banking (Larisa Manastirli, Director, Head of Sofia RO and Mark Davis, Director for Romania and Bulgaria), Office of the Chief Economist, Office of the General Counsel, Country Strategy and Results Management, Energy Efficiency and Climate Change. The views expressed in this paper are those of the authors only and not necessarily those of the EBRD. The report is based on data available as of end-2018. Country diagnostics are an EBRD tool to identify the main obstacles to entrepreneurship and private sector development and to help shape the Bank’s strategic priorities and project selection in new country strategies. Each diagnostic informs the EBRD’s policy engagement with the authorities in the country.
