Bulgaria Increasingly Attractive to Foreign Investors

The real estate market at present
Bulgaria and Romania promise to become the most attractive countries in the South Eastern Europe region for foreign investors.

According to a latest report released this week by the analytical unit of Bank Austria Creditanstalt, investors will be attracted by the good privatisation offers in the two Balkan countries. Besides, since the early 90s the region has been turning into the fastest developing market after Asia.

With an average GDP growth of 5% annually since 2000, South East Europe surpasses the EU member states in its economic development, where the average annual GDP is 3.5%.

Structural changes, related to EU membership, would increase the positive economic developments as the two countries move forward toward EU membership. Bulgaria and Romania would develop greatly after joining the EU and were expected to become leaders in economic growth in the region, the report says.
