Bulgaria ranks 47th in the world in terms of economic freedom, showed a ranking of the American Heritage Foundation.

According to the ranking, Bulgaria ranks right behind Kosovo (46th) and ahead of Cyprus (48th).

The transition of our country to a more open and flexible economic system has been facilitated by the restructuring carried out, showed the index of economic freedom.

The competitive flat tax and the system of open trade, supported by a relatively effective regulatory frame, encourage the development of the growing private sector.
