Trade relations between Bulgaria and the Republic of South Africa are developing rapidly


The Ambassador of the Republic of South Africa H.E. Sheila Camerer visited BCCI to introduce the newly appointed Consul and Political and Economic Advisor Boiki Motloung to the management of the Chamber.

During the meeting, the significant growth of trade turnover between Bulgaria and the Republic of South Africa was noted. In the first ten months of 2011 it amounted to USD 109.2 million. Bulgarian exports also increased significantly in comparison to previous periods. Last year Bulgaria exported mainly petroleum oils, copper rods and profiles, electric batteries, metal articles, fruit, etc.

The interest of South Africa to the possibilities and conditions provided by the Bulgarian tourist market has increased, especially due to the fact that our country has four seasons, good resorts with excellent medical and sanitary base, and affordable prices. 

Ambassador Camerer said that in 2012 the two countries will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the establishment of their diplomatic relations. On this occasion many events will be organized in Bulgaria. One of them will be an economic event aiming to present the progress of South African economy and the business opportunities the country provides. BCCI will assist the Embassy in organizing the event. 

Mr. Motloung presented the latest data of the South African Trade and Investment Agency. More information about the country’s economy and investment opportunities is available at: http://www.tradeinvestsa.co.za/newsletter/latest-jan2012.htm
