Investments attracted in Q1 2012 exceed seven times their amount for Q1 2011
“The investments attracted to Bulgaria in the first quarter of 2012 exceeded seven times their amount for the same period last year,” said Minister of Economy, Energy and Tourism Delian Dobrev. In January-April 2012, the investments amounted to €407 mln, compared to €63 mln for the same period of 2011. The total worth of Class “A” investment certificates issued so far is €454 mln and more than 580 permanent jobs will be opened under these projects. “Together with the InvestBulgaria Agency, we are working actively with another five or six companies, which I hope we will convince to invest in Bulgaria by the end of the year,” added Dobrev.
He handed a Class “A” investment certificate to Plastchim-T JSC for its new BGN 33 mln project for the construction of a new plant for foil in the town of Aksakovo. Thus, the capacity of the company will be utilised. The new production capacities will be commissioned at the end of 2013 and 50 new jobs will be created. The project is financed by BNP Paribas and UniCredit Bulbank.
