main trends in the EU funds management in Bulgaria

Абстракт

In the context of cohesion policy, as a member of the European Union, the Republic of Bulgaria needs to achieve a sustainable pace of reducing differences by improving: the quality of infrastructure; investment in human capital; raising standards in education and health care; maintaining the quality of the workforce; removal of administrative and market obstacles in order to stimulate entrepreneurship and investments; ensuring balanced territorial development. The realization of these goals can be achieved through the financial assistance from European funds. The degree and quality of absorption of funds from them in Bulgaria are of great importance for the implementation of structural reforms aimed at increasing the competitiveness of the Bulgarian economy, development of the regions and acceleration of the convergence process. The present study aims to analyse the main trends in the EU funds management in Bulgaria during program period 2021-2027.
