SOFIA, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- Bulgaria's 2025 economic growth has hit twice the European average, the Bulgarian News Agency reported Friday, citing Bulgarian Prime Minister Rosen Zhelyazkov.
The country's economy had grown at rates unseen in recent years, said Zhelyazkov in response to a question from Bogdan Bogdanov, a member of parliament, during a parliamentary questions session.
Bulgaria has recorded a growth of 3 percent, twice the European average, and possibly the second in Europe, he said.
According to macroeconomic forecasts, Bulgaria's gross domestic product (GDP) will remain high and unemployment will steadily decline in 2026, he added.
Under the country's Recovery and Resilience Plan, a record 5 billion BGN (about 2.98 billion U.S. dollars) would be invested in its economy in 2025, most of which had already been allocated so far this year, the prime minister said. ■
