Though good and stable, economic growth in Bulgaria is insufficient for catching up with average European levels, reads the regular annual report on the state of the Bulgarian economy of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences Economic Research Institute.

Depending on the extent to which the country manages to keep up the economic growth rate, it will take 90 to 233 years for Bulgaria to be able to reach European levels. The objective should be anticipatory economic growth and a more significant increase in incomes that will ease social tension, the report reads. There exists capital flight in huge amounts. In 2016 the net capital outflow is estimated at close to 3.400 billion euro, in 2017 - 3.100 billion euro. The net outflow of Bulgarian capital produced in this country is estimated at one third of the investments in the country, Prof. Garabed Minasyan from the Bulgarian academy of Sciences Economic Research Institute said for the Bulgarian National Radio.
