One Billion Euro Invested in Bansko

2008-02-05   |  Vyara Newspaper, Vol.27, 02.02.08

It has been calculated that in the last 5-6 years about 1 billion euros have been invested in Bulgaria’s winter resort of Bansko. The reason for the great development boom in the resort is the favorable investment climate the local authorities have created, the town’s Mayor Alexander Kravarov said. He added that when the developers are given good working conditions and receive the needed cooperation from the various institutions they do not have to be attracted as they come by themselves.

The projects on which the Municipality of Bansko is working are many. The main projects are related mostly to the development of the areas and the construction of roads, water mains, sewerage, dams for drinking and irrigation water. They are executed in Bansko but also in the neighboring town of Dobrinishte and the adjoining villages.
After the construction boom of immeasurable scale and the just about total exploitation of unoccupied plots of land the demand of properties in the municipality is at a standstill, Mayor Kravarov explained. He also said that this is quite normal due to the international market crisis.

“We depend on the policy of the banks, on the interest rates and on the granted loans,” the Mayor underscored. “The prices of the plots of land here are between 30 and 400 euro per square meter. Foreigners and big construction companies are the groups looking for investment possibilities at the moment. But it must be added that the small construction companies are also quite interested.”
