Hristina Mitreva was born on August 15, 1949. She is a graduate of Sofia’s Economy University with a major in Statistics. She has worked between 1971 and 1990 in the Center for Statistics and later had been an expert at the Voluntary Retirement Contribution Fund and the Insurance Company “Bulgaria Life.” Since 1998 until becoming Deputy Minister in August 2009, Mitreva was the Head of the Main Directorate “Analysis, Planning and Prognostics” at NOI.
