Following the unprecedented crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Bulgaria''s recovery and resilience plan has responded to the urgent need to foster a strong recovery, while making Bulgaria''s economy and society more resilient and future ready. In response to the energy market disruption caused by Russia''s invasion of Ukraine, the Commission launched the REPowerEU Plan. The Recovery and Resilience Facility is at the heart of its implementation and its funding. Under REPowerEU, EU countries are updating their recovery and resilience plans with new measures to save energy and diversify the EU''s energy supplies.
Focusing on green technologies and capacities - sustainable mobility, energy efficiency and renewables, climate change adaptation; circular economy; and biodiversity.

The country snapshot illustrates some of the most iconic and impactful projects included in the Bulgarian Recovery and Resilience Plan that will bring positive change for EU citizens, businesses and the EU at large.
The reforms and investments in Bulgaria''s plan, approved by Council on 4 May 2022, are helping it to become more sustainable, resilient and better prepared for the challenges and opportunities of the green transition and digital transition.
*This value includes also the part of the plan which is financed with national resources.
The transformative impact of Bulgaria''s plan is the result of a strong combination of reforms and investments which address the country''s specific challenges. The reforms address bottlenecks to lasting and sustainable growth, while investments are targeted at the green and digital transitions, to strengthen economic and social resilience and the cohesion of the single market. In particular, Bulgaria''s plan will accelerate the decarbonisation of the energy sector, promote the large-scale deployment of digital infrastructure, including in rural areas, as well as support investments in improving the business environment, education and skills, research and innovation, social protection and healthcare.
All measures have to be implementedwithin a tight time frame, as the Regulation establishing the Recovery and Resilience Facility requires all milestones and targets within the national plans to be completed by August 2026.
In the area of climate and environmental policies, Bulgaria''s challenges include the decarbonisation of the power sector, fostering clean and efficient production and use of energy and resources, improving the energy efficiency of the building stock, making the transport sector more sustainable and ensuring the protection and restoration of ecosystems.
Key measures for the green transition
The modified plan, including the REPowerEU chapter, continues to focus on the green transition, devoting 57.5% of the available funds to measures that support climate objectives.
With an investment of EUR 879 million from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, the Bulgarian plan supports a comprehensive national scheme for energy efficiency renovation of residential, public and commercial buildings.
Digital challenges for Bulgaria include insufficient connectivity through very high-capacity networks, low offer and uptake of digital public services, low level of digital skills and limited uptake of digital technologies by enterprises.
Key measures for the digital transition
Bulgaria''s recovery and resilience plan supports the digital transition with investments and reforms aimed at increasing the coverage of very high-capacity networks across the country.
The modified plan continues to focus on the digital transition, devoting 23.1% of the available funds to measures thatsupportdigital objectives.
The objective of the investment, financed with close to EUR 165 million from the Recovery and Resilience Facility, is to improve the up- and re-skilling of the workforce, with a focus on digital skills. This will be achieved through the creation of a fully functioning digital platform...
Key challenges with an impact on Bulgaria''s medium-term economic performance include improving the quality of institutions and fighting corruption, addressing labour and skills shortages as well as skills mismatches relative to the labour market needs, improving the quality, inclusiveness and labour market relevance of education and training, improving access to integrated employment and social services and more effective minimum income support, strengthening the resilience, accessibility and capacity of the health system.
