Pleven
Gross domestic product, wages, and pensions in the district are growing at a rate close to the national average and remain relatively low. The poverty level is declining slightly but remains above average. The share of the working-age population remains low. There has been an outflow of investment in the region, which is also reflected in the value of output. Of the local taxes considered, only the average rate on non-residential real estate owned by legal entities is high. E-governance is underdeveloped.
The demographic picture is unfavourable. The performance on educational indicators is also poor, mainly due to the relatively low results of students. At the same time, however, Pleven continues to be the leading district in the healthcare category with the highest relative number of medical doctors and hospital beds. The administration of justice is relatively fast, but the clearance rate for crimes is low. The district ranks last in terms of forest cover, but there is not much degraded land. Cultural life is relatively intense, but tourism is underdeveloped.
