Belgium is an important partner of Bulgaria. However, the two countries have the potential to boost the bilateral economic ties, Bulgaria’s Minister of Economy Bojidar Loukarsky said at a meeting with Belgian Secretary of State for Foreign Trade Pieter De Crem.

According to preliminary data of the Bulgarian National Bank, the Belgian foreign direct investments in Bulgaria in 2015 amounted to EUR 48.3 million, which makes Belgium the 9th biggest investor in Bulgaria.
