65.3% of Bulgarian Workers Earn Below Subsistence Level
According to recent data from the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions of Bulgaria (CITUB), the financial strain on Bulgarian households continues to intensify
Bulgaria's economic growth is expected to speed up from 3.5% last year to 3.9% in 2019 on the back of moderate fiscal stimulus and acceleration of investment activity, Italian financial group UniCredit said on Wednesday, reports SeeNews.
"Among the planned measures, the boost in infrastructure spending and the increase in public sector wages are expected to be the most effective in supporting domestic demand in 2019," UniCredit said in a quarterly macroeconomic report on Central and Eastern Europe.
Bulgaria's gross domestic product growth is then expected to slow down to 3.0% in 2020 as a result of the cyclical downturn anticipated in advanced economies and tighter financing conditions.
A sharp drop in export volumes to Turkey was among the major hurdles to Bulgaria's economic expansion in 2018. The forecast acceleration of the Turkish economy in the next few years is expected to limit the decrease in Bulgaria's exports to the country in 2019, before they start increasing in 2020.
As Bulgaria's unemployment rate is projected to drop below 5% this year, job creation is expected to lose some momentum.
