The most successful 2022 economic and commercial Bulgarian sections (ECS) abroad were announced at an online ceremony, organized by the Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and the Ministry of Economy and Industry.
Tsvetan Simeonov, President of the Chamber of Commerce and Industry, emphasized that regardless of the dynamics of the present days, the Chamber and the Ministry had assembled and distinguished the most successful services for the 13th year in a row. He noted that the assessment was made on the basis of objective indicators, including statistical data on changes in exports, investments and tourists, as well as the evaluation of the business, the Chamber and the Ministry. Simeonov shared that the Chamber of Commerce and Industry had carried out an opinion poll among the Bulgarian entrepreneurs about the work and activities of the ECSs in their relations with them.
The Minister of Economy and Industry, Bogdan Bogdanov, thanked the heads of ECSs for doing their best to promote Bulgaria as an attractive destination for foreign direct investments despite the global geopolitical conflicts and the insecurities in the region. He pointed out that economic growth and the amount of direct foreign investments in the country (over 3.1 billion euros for the period January - September 2023) maintained the preliminary data, provided by BNB.
