Vidin

Salaries and pensions in the district are growing relatively slowly and remain significantly below the national average, which is reflected in the high level of poverty among the population. Vidin is the region with the lowest share of people of working age and the highest unemployment rate – 14.7% compared to 5.5% for the country as a whole. The district also remains at the bottom in terms of both domestic and foreign investment, which is linked to the extremely low level of production. The share of motorways and first-class roads, as well as the quality of the road surface, remain low. The connectivity of settlements to public sewerage systems is also extremely limited. Local tax levels remain relatively low, and local revenues are insufficient to cover expenses.

Vidin continues to be the district with the most unfavourable demographic picture. Students' educational results remain poor. Vidin is also the district with the lowest life expectancy. The administration of justice is relatively fast, but there are many registered crimes. An extremely small proportion of household waste is sent for treatment and recycling. Tourism is not very developed, but visits to theatres and museums are relatively high.
