Country Abbreviations
BGR is the three-letter country code of Bulgaria, and BG is the two-letter country code of Bulgaria. The two-letter suffix is used in top-level domains on the Internet as .bg.
Natural resources
Bulgaria has few mineral resources. The deposits of copper (Sredna gora), iron (near Kremikowzi near Sofia), lead and manganese ores (near Varna) are of greater importance. The mining of lignite (production around 34 million t) is of great importance for energy generation, especially in Mariza-Istok (Maritza-East). Bulgaria has its own deposits of crude oil (Black Sea; production 2014: 26,100 t) and natural gas (production 2014: 181 million m 3), but is still heavily dependent on gas and oil imports from Russia.
Energy industry
Primary energy generation is primarily based on fossil fuels (78.5%), with crude oil making up 26.9%, natural gas 14.6% and coal 37.0%. 47% of electricity is generated in coal-fired power plants; 43% is accounted for by the nuclear power plant near Kozloduy, which went into operation in 1974 (six reactor blocks, four of which were shut down by 2006). The rest is mainly produced by hydropower.
Industry
About 30% of the workforce is employed in industry (including mining and construction); their share in GDP is (2015) 27.6%. During the industrialization after the Second World War, large industrial combines of the heavy and basic industries emerged, which today are mostly technically outdated and polluting due to the lack of modernization investments. The industrial structural and adjustment crisis of the 1990s was accompanied by a sharp slump in industrial production. The share of industry in GDP fell from around 60% to 27% in 1989-99. Important branches of industry are the chemical (Dewnja) including pharmaceutical and petrochemical industry, mechanical engineering and metalworking industry, metallurgy with iron and steel industry (Kremikowzi, Pernik, Burgas) and the extraction of non-ferrous metals, electronics and electrical engineering. The software (Sofia), textile and clothing as well as the food and luxury food industries are the main growth-intensive sectors. The most important industrial centers are Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna, Burgas, Stara Sagora, Russe, Gabrovo, Pleven and Veliko Tarnovo.
Tourism
After the number of foreign tourists had decreased significantly during the 1990s, tourism was able to re-establish itself as an important branch of the economy. In 2015, 9.3 million foreign guests visited the country (mainly from Romania, Greece and Germany). The income from tourism amounts to around € 4.0 billion. The Black Sea coast (Golden Sands near Varna, Sunny Beach near Nessebar; Albena) as well as the winter sports and mountain health resorts in the Rila Mountains (Borowez), in the Rhodope Mountains (Pamporowo), in the Vitosha Mountains (Aleko) and Pirin (Bansko) with their minerals are particularly important for tourism – and healing springs.
Transportation
Due to its geographical location, Bulgaria is an important transit country through which several European transport corridors run. The supra-regional transport system is heavily geared towards rail transport. The length of the railways is (2015) 5 486 km (of which 3 895 km electrified). The road network is of great importance for shorter distances; including the 622 km long motorway sections, it is 19,512 km. The motorway connections between Sofia and the sea ports of Varna (with a ferry connection to the Ukrainian port of Illichivsk) and Burgas (oil and fishing port) are particularly important. Inland shipping is almost exclusively limited to the Danube, the most important Danube ports are Lom and Russian. There are international airports in Sofia, Plovdiv, Varna and Burgas.
Foreign Trade
The foreign trade balance remains negative (import value 2015: € 26.4 billion; export value € 23.2 billion). The most important export goods are metals, industrial goods and finished products (especially clothing), mineral fuels and lubricants, as well as food and luxury goods (including tobacco and wine). The main imports are raw materials and fuels (especially oil and gas from Russia), machines and equipment, chemical products and consumer goods. In 2015, EU countries accounted for 64.3% of imports and 64.6% of exports. The main trading partners are Russia, Germany, Italy, Romania, Greece and Turkey.
