The National Statistical Institute (NSI) has released preliminary data revealing that Bulgaria's gross domestic product (GDP) experienced a modest growth of 1.8% in real terms in 2023
In 2014 Bulgaria’s spending on research and development stood at BGN 206.6 M, up by 3.1% from 2013, according to the National Statistical Institute (NSI).

Bulgaria lags behind the EU average R&D intensity (R&D expenditure as % of GDP) of 0.68%, according to data for 2013.
