The German-Bulgarian Chamber of Industry and Commerce (GBCIC) will announce the results of a survey on the business environment in Bulgaria on Tuesday, the Bulgarian News Agency reported citing the organizers.

About 95% of German companies operating in Bulgaria would prefer the country again as a business destination, last year’s poll showed. The survey, carried out among the 618 member companies of GBCIC, showed that government incentives were not very important for investment decisions, with only 20% of respondents identifying them as a factor for implementing investment plans.
