They call Bulgaria the European “country of economic boom”. American investors also call it “Europe’s brisk cat”, as a hint at the Asian “countries of the tiger”.

For the past years Bulgaria has marked an economic growth of over 6% a year. In 2004 only, two billion euros were invested here by foreigners. In 2004, the incomes from tourism went up to 1.6 billion euros, thus marking an increase of 20% in comparison to the year before. In the meantime, no one has serious doubts about Bulgaria joining the European Union in 2007, hence that this will increase economic security and stability.
