The OECD recommends boosting business productivity and addressing fiscal pressures to strengthen Bulgaria’s economic growth, according to its latest Economic Survey. Projected GDP growth is set to moderate to 2.6% in 2026 and 2.4% in 2027, with inflation declining to 2.7% and 2.4% respectively. The report highlights the need for structural reforms to sustain progress, including improving competitiveness, tackling corruption, and enhancing the education system. Fiscal prudence is urged to maintain long-term stability, while reducing informal employment and strengthening tax compliance. Priority areas include research investment, regulatory easing, and transitioning to renewable energy to meet net-zero targets by 2050. The OECD also calls for reforms to modernize the school system and align vocational training with workforce needs, ensuring Bulgaria remains competitive in the EU context.
