Special Focus: Bulgarian Industry |
Bulgaria is an industrialised country with an open free market economy with a moderately advanced private sector and a number of strategic state-owned enterprises. Bulgaria, can be fairly characterised as an upper-middle-income country. Its gross national income per capita was 5,490 US$ in 2008. The last decade of the 20th century was a rather unstable and rigid economic period for the country. After the collapse of the communist regime and subsequently of the COMECON system, Bulgaria lost its political and economical anchor. This had as a result the fall of the standard of living by 40% and the creation of hyperinflation which surged in 1994 to 122% and 311% in 1996.

The Balkans: Foreign Direct Investment and EU Accession (Transition and Development), By Aristidis Bitzenis
After the fall of communism and the subsequent development of viable market economies there has been a renewable interest on the potential of the Balkan economies. Bulgaria, Albania, Serbia & Montenegro, Romania and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia are countries which have attracted low levels of investment and poor political leadership in most of the countries has delayed much needed reforms. However, there are now signs of improvement and this timely book fills a significant gap in the literature. This book demonstrates that these countries must engage as fully as possible with the world economy via EU accession and explores the implications of the specific characteristics of these countries which have made the transition process more difficult.

Successful Industry Building in Transition Countries: Foreign Direct Investment or Local Effort? Software Industries of Bulgaria, Estonia, and Romania, by Mancheva Svetla
Foreign Direct Investment played an important role in the reconstruction of the former communist countries after the fall of communism. Nevertheless, local effort played its own role during this procedure. This book examines the grounds for successful industry development in transition economies, focusing on the two types of ownership: foreign and domestic. The distinction is thus made between industries that are predominantly based on foreign direct investment or on local entrepreneurship, with the aim of establishing which of these contributes more to the development of the local economy and human capital. The method of analysis focuses on case studies of the software industry in three transition countries - Bulgaria, Estonia and Romania, representing different variations of the types of industry ownership.
