Winter Tourism: 1.8 Million Visit Bulgaria
Bulgaria has witnessed a bustling winter tourism season, with a total of 1.8 million tourists gracing its picturesque landscapes from December 1 to March 25
Nouriel Roubini, the economist dubbed "Dr Doom" for predicting the credit crunch, will pay his first ever visit to Bulgaria later this month.
At a forum in Sofia on February 26, Roubini, who runs a New York-based consultancy, will deliver a speech entitled "Growth opportunities for a small economy in the global world".
The event will take place at Sheraton hotel, Sofia and is organized by pension assurance company Doverie and with the media partnership of Capital weekly and Bloomberg.
The event is part of efforts by organizers at raising the engagement and capacity of the leading economists in the world with different scenarios and prospects of the global crisis, in particular the Bulgarian economy in the context of this crisis, by discussing their specific views and ideas locally.
The event will be hosted and moderated by Georgy Ganev, Programme Director, Economic Research, Centre for Liberal Strategies.
Popularly known as Dr. Doom (the title of a profile in The New York Times Magazine), Dr. Nouriel Roubini has published numerous policy papers and books on key international macroeconomic issues, and is regularly cited as an authority in the media.
He has been forecasting a serious financial crisis in the U.S. for years, speaking notably before a skeptical IMF about his predictions in 2006.
Ignored for a long time by mainstream economists and policy makers, he now receives invitations to speak before such influential organizations as the U.S. Congress and the Council on Foreign Relations.
Roubini has coauthored a myth shattering book, Crisis Economics: A Crash Course in the Future of Finance, with Stephen Mihm. It reveals the methods Nouriel used to foretell the current crisis before other economists saw it coming.
Dr. Roubini was chosen as number 4 on Foreign Policy's Top 100 Global Thinkers list and was named to Fortune Magazine's list of "10 new gurus you should know".
