Our partners at the Institute for Market Economics organized the first annual forum on the state of economic freedom and the rule of law. The CEO of Invest Sofia, Maria Hristova PhD took part in the event called “Growth in turbulent times”. A partner in the organization is the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom. Among the main topics that were discussed were “What are the major economic challenges and will we get out of the trap of being the last in the EU?”, “What have the countries of Central and Eastern Europe achieved in two decades within the EU and why Bulgaria is still in the queue?” and “Is there an end to the political crisis in our country and what is the way forward?”.
