Bulgaria will aim for a budget surplus of over 3.0% of gross domestic product (GDP) in 2007 and 2008. The country's prudent fiscal policy is aimed at curbing the widening current account gap.
The country’s current account deficit, which rose to 13.8% of the projected GDP through September from 8.4% a year earlier, is expected to swell to around 20% of GDP this year from 15.7% in 2006.
The government has projected that the country's GDP will grow by a real 6.4% in 2007 and 2008 each. Bulgaria's GDP rose by 6.1% in 2006, to 49.1 billion levs.
