InvestBulgaria Agency Registers Stronger Investor Activity


Pleven, Northern Bulgaria, April 2 (BTA) - InvestBulgaria Agency
 Executive Director
Stamen Yanev said stronger investor activity had been
registered. He participated in a roundtable on investments in
the Northwestern Planning Region held on the Agency's
initiative.

Yanev said there were 14 projects worth over 340 million leva
due for certification at the Agency.

A large investment of 30 million euro is shortly expected to be
launched in Pleven, said Yanev. The town is the right place for
this investment and the Agency and local government will support
 it.

Industrial zones are a niche which should develop, the Agency
representatives said. Car manufacture and high technology are
priority industries for investors. Bulgaria is a good place to
invest in, a strategy is being drawn up to identify investment
opportunities, said Yanev.

The Agency's key priority is not just to attract new investors
but to keep those who have already come to Bulgaria, he said.
That is why the Agency will study their problems and will help
investors deal with them, especially problems connected with red
 tape. The Agency will make a special effort to attract
investments to the Northwestern Region.

Thursday's roundtable in Pleven with present and potential
investors was attended by Deputy Prime Minister Meglena Kuneva,
Deputy Economy Minister Daniela Vezieva, Nayden Zelenogorski MP
and Pleven Regional Governor Ralitsa Dobreva.
