Bulgarian companies are endangered by the fast increase of corporate obligations, including debts between separate private companies.

The average debt rate in the real economy has doubled in the last year, growing from 20% to 43%. Corporate debt is expected to reach EUR 150 B by the end of 2009, which is twice as much as Bulgaria's Gross Domestic Product (GDP).
