There is a 2-year VAT exemption for imports of equipment for investment projects over Euro 5 million, creating good job opportunities. Bulgaria is expected to grow on an average of 1.3% in the coming years. This is relatively low compared to the average of other Central and Eastern European countries and also relatively low compared to the global average of 3.7%. Because of its own economic growth and that of its main trading partners, Bulgaria s exports are expected to grow 12% annually to US$56 bn in 2017, making Bulgaria one of the larger among the exporting countries worldwide. Similarly, import demand will grow with an average of 10% per year to US$57 bn in 2017, meaning that Bulgaria will take the 52nd position on the global list of largest importers. By 2017, Bulgaria will mainly import fuels, office telecom & electrical equipment and ores & metals, which together account for 38% of total imports of Bulgaria. Similarly, Bulgaria s exports will mainly consist of ores & metals, basic food and textiles (including fibres, yarn and products). Together these products will represent 51% of total exports in The Bulgarian Government introduced the lowest tax rates in the region ten per cent rate both on personal income and on corporate income, which contributed to strong foreign investment inflows. Located at the heart of the Balkans, Bulgaria is a strategic logistics hub and provides excellent launching pad for sales into the European Union, Russia, Turkey and the Middle East.
