Business opportunities for Dutch Enterprises.


Privatisation progress in Bulgaria offers a wide range of business opportunities for Dutch enterprises. Local financing is one of the main problem areas, due to the high interest rates charged. Cross border financing is increasing.
Investment climate is continuously improving largely due to a consistent economic and financial policy. However, there is uncertainty with regard to the outcome of the next elections. The still widespread poverty and lack of social facilities in Bulgaria may lead to a change towards a less consistent economic policy.
There are and will be many business opportunities in Bulgaria. The project ideas identified implicitly prove the relevance of the current PSO+ programme for Bulgaria. Given the emphasis the authorities put on improving transport and infrastructure an increase of the PSO budget for the theme “Transport” should be considered.
The following table shows an assessment of the business opportunities in the different sub sectors for possible PSO+ projects. Sometimes the expression "no key area" has been used to indicate that the relevant sub sectors do not really qualify for PSO+ projects. This does not necessarily mean that there are no sound business opportunities in the mentioned sub sectors.

Business opportunities / project ideas identified for Dutch enterprises
In spite of the fact that government influence and interference in the market economy is still present in Bulgaria, the ongoing privatisation of the industrial sectors in combination with the substantial market potential offers increasingly sound business opportunities.
The PSO programme for Bulgaria is and will prove to be very effective in view of the stage of economic and institutional development of the country. The sectors transport, in particular road transport, road infrastructure as well as agricultural production and distribution offer many opportunities to Dutch enterprises, which we have summarised below more specifically.
It should be noted that project ideas as listed below do not necessarily qualify as PSO+ project.
