Corruption, slow justice and unpredictability caused by frequent legislative changes are what foreign investors in Bulgaria face, the annual report of the US Department of State on the investment climate in 170 countries reads. “Bulgaria is ranked 74th in terms of corruption. It is worrying that this is the level of countries like Tunisia and former Soviet Union countries and even Belarus is ahead of us”, Petar Ivanov, Executive Director of the American Chamber of Commerce in Bulgaria (AmCham) commented in an interview for BNR.

In his view, Bulgaria has the most obscure business laws. That is why, this country ranks 61st in the Doing Business annual ranking. Bulgaria performs better in the innovations ranking-40th among 129 countries.
