24.11.2017Presentation of "Regional Profiles: Indicators of Development 2017"

November 28th2017 11:00 - 12:00 | BTA Pressclub

On Tuesday, November 28th at 11 o’clock the Institute for Market Economics (IME) will present the key findings of this year’s edition of the “Regional Profiles: Indicators of Development” study. The regional profiles are a unique study of the socio-economic conditions and development of the regions in Bulgaria, compiled by the IME for the sixth consecutive year, allowing for the underlining of long-term processes on the regional level.

The English version of the study will be available in December 2017.

This year, the presentation will focus on the following topics:

  • Economic development of the regions: which regions grow the fastest and which fail to take part in the economic upturn?
  • Labor market: where has the employment rate reached record levels and does this affect demographic processes?
  • Education: what are the main predictors for dropping out of school and the quality of education and what is the relationship between the product of education and the labor market?
  • Local finance: is there a trend towards an increase in local taxation and does the mechanism for straightening of municipalities work?


The findings will be presented by:

  • Dessislava Nikolova, chief economist, IME
  • Yavor Aleksiev, economist, IME
  • Zornitsa Slavova, economist, IME
  • Petar Ganev, senior economist, IME

The complete analyses, data and other materials included in the study will be uploaded on the project’s website.
