Bulgaria's economy 'continuing to grow'
Bulgaria's economy has experienced continued growth in the last year, according to new data.
The Sofia Echo cited figures from the National Statistics Institute showing that the country's gross domestic product (GDP) for the first half of 2007 was 6.4% higher than last year.
According to the institute, GDP for the first six months of the year was 24.5 billion Bulgarian leva (£8.8 billion).
This was largely attributed to the growth in the service sector during in recent years, which has developed as a result of increased tourism in Bulgaria.
The figures could also highlight the potential of the country as a good option for overseas property investors, as economic growth could have an impact on its property market.
Earlier this month, the Sofia Echo reported that prices in Bulgarian cities could rise by 10% before the end of this year.
