Intensifying cooperation between business organizations of Bulgaria and Macedonia

The President of BCCI Tsvetan Simeonov discussed with the President of the Economic Chamber of Macedonia Branko Azeski and the President of the Macedonian-Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce Zore Temelkovski the need to intensify economic cooperation between the two countries in view of Macedonia’s European future during a meeting held on 17 February in Skopje.

An agreement was reached to organize Bulgarian-Macedonian business forum in the spring of 2015 (April – May) in Sofia.

Providing useful information to companies is an important task of the business organizations from both countries. They will do this on a regular basis by organizing bilateral business forums and meetings in order to help companies find potential partners and identify economic projects of mutual interest. Such a forum already took place in June 2014 in Stip, Macedonia.

The first joint forum for 2015 will be held on 12 March in BCCI. The event is of great importance for Macedonian entrepreneurs because over the last 8 years Bulgaria has maintained a low income tax rate and provided other incentives for foreign investors.
