Foreign direct investments (FDI) into Bulgaria surpassed EUR 800 million during the first two months of the current year. According to Angel Ivanov, acting Executive Director of the InvestBulgaria Agency, this figure represents nearly double the growth recorded in the same period last year, despite complex international conditions. Ivanov made these remarks during the opening ceremony for the Investor of the Year 2025 awards, an initiative marking the 20th anniversary, while the Agency also celebrated its 30th anniversary.
Ivanov emphasized that Bulgaria has solidified its position as a competitive investment destination over the decades. He cited the nation’s institutional support, stable macroeconomic environment, favorable tax system within the EU, and its human capital as key advantages. He noted that while the government welcomes all investments, it has prioritized sectors such as manufacturing, information and communication technologies, research and development, and education to foster a more innovative future.
The Investor of the Year initiative recognizes companies and projects that contribute significantly to the country’s economic development, job creation, and sustainable growth. The ceremony convened leading representatives from the business sector, state institutions, and international organizations. During the event, President Iliana Iotova presented the InvestBulgaria Agency with the Honorary Badge of the President of the Republic of Bulgaria on the occasion of its 30th anniversary.
The Agency affirmed its commitment to supporting investors, stating that the success of the investors is intrinsically linked to the success of Bulgaria in the coming year.
