Bulgaria’s business sentiment indicator fell by 0.5 percentage points (pp) month-on-month in December, the National Statistical Institute (NSI) said on Friday. The drop was due to a 2.7% decrease in the indicator for the manufacturing industry, the office of statistics said in its monthly business climate survey, in which managers of 4,200 enterprises were interviewed. The indicator improved by 3.2 pp in the retail sector and remained unchanged month-on-month in both construction and services.
