Instead of 2.1%, the gross domestic product of Bulgaria in 2016 is expected to reach 2.6 percent. The bigger rise is mainly due to a more solid domestic consumption and investment, the autumn macroeconomic forecast of the Ministry of Finance has shown.

As a result, final consumption will grow by 1.5 percent, experts forecast.
