Outsource Bulgaria

Ernst & Young has published its survey on direct foreigh investment in the region. Bulgaria ranks second.

Distribution of investments (number of)

• Romania – 40%
• Bulgaria – 25%
• Turkey – 20%
• Serbia – 9%
• Greece – 4%

The survey also asked investors which factors need to be improved. Here’s the investor wishlist:

• Infrastructure – logistics & telco
• Political stability
• Following EU standards
• Simplifying administration
• Quality of life

Admittedly, outsourcing attracts only a small part of the direct investments but my guess is the investor wishlist is almost 100% identical regardless of sector.
