This Economic Assessment is published under the responsibility of the Secretary-General of the OECD. The economic situation and policies of Bulgaria were reviewed by the Economic and Development Review Committee on 23 November 2020, with participation of representatives of the Bulgarian authorities. The draft report was then revised in the light of the discussions.
The Secretariat’s draft report was prepared for the Committee by Emily Sinnott and Mikkel Hermansen under the supervision of Patrick Lenain. Isabelle Luong provided statistical assistance and Stephanie Henry provided editorial support. The Economic Assessment benefitted from contributions by Emilie Cazenave, Carissa Munro and Giulio Nessi of the OECD Public Governance Directorate and by consultant Natia Mosiashvili. Other valuable inputs and comments were received from OECD’s Centre for Entrepreneurship, SMEs, Regions and Cities; the Centre for Tax Policy and Administration; the Directorate for Employment, Labour and Social Affairs; the Directorate for Education and Skills; and the Directorate for Financial and Enterprise Affairs.
The previous Economic Assessment of Bulgaria was issued in April 1999.
