The Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) is launching a large-scale survey campaign to evaluate the activities of Trade and Economic Services (TES) in an international context. The innovative study aims to collect expert opinions and recommendations directly from the business community regarding the functioning of trade representations abroad.

The annual study represents a unique mechanism for analysis and improvement of foreign economic activity. Through a specially developed questionnaire, accessible online on the SurveyMonkey platform, companies can share their practical experience and impressions of TES work in various countries.

A key moment in the initiative is the opportunity for participants to propose specific strategies for increasing the effectiveness of trade representations. The survey results will serve to create an official ranking, which will be developed jointly with the Ministry of Economy and Industry.

The most successful trade representatives will be officially recognized with awards, which further motivates the quality performance of their functions. The questionnaire will be active until July 18, 2025, and BCCI strongly encourages all interested companies to participate.

Parallel to the main survey, the organization continues to develop its international cooperation. Recent initiatives include meetings with delegations from China, Vietnam, and diplomatic mission representatives aimed at expanding bilateral economic relations.

In the context of economic forecasts, the Bulgarian National Bank expects growth of 2.9% in 2025, with a slight slowdown to 2.7% in the following two years. The National Statistical Institute reports monthly inflation of 0.4% in June and annual inflation of 4.4%.
