The European Commission has again pointed to major imbalances in Bulgaria’s economy. This country remains among the 12 EU member states who are subject to special monitoring. The EC report says that the banking sector has stabilized but that the legacy of poor supervision has not been overcome yet. Further actions are needed to deal with the weaknesses of the financial sector revealed in stress tests of banks. The percentage of bad credits is a double digit figure unlike the European average. From among state-run enterprises the most indebted ones are in energy. One example given is the N-plant at Belene for which Bulgaria has paid indemnities to Russia worth more than 601 million euro or 1.3% of the country’s GDP. The labor market has improved but employment levels remain low and long-term unemployment is high, European Commission experts have found.
