In the same period of 2021, FDI was 196.8 million euro, but the BNB originally reported 187.9 million euro, which was revised upward later.

Net receipts from real estate investments by foreign companies totalled an outflow of 5.3 million euro, compared to an outflow of 0.3 million euro recorded in January-April 2021.

The central bank data showed 26.5 million euro in investment outflows as debt instruments, recorded as the change in the net liabilities of Bulgarian companies towards their foreign investor owners, compared to an outflow of 351.3 million euro in the first four months of 2021. Such financial flows include financial loans, suppliers’ credits and debt securities, BNB said.
