Bulgaria ranks 36th among 165 countries and territories in Frasers's 2021 Economic Freedom of the World Annual Report, losing four positions from last year, said Tuesday the Institute for Market Economics (IME) which is the local partner of Fraser Institute.
A year earlier Bulgaria was 32nd in the ranking.

Bulgaria ranked 46th out of 162 countries in the Fraser Institute's 2018 Economic Freedom Index. The survey is based on data from 2016, the last year for which official data is available for all countries. The results of the ranking were disseminated by the Institute for Market Economics (IME).

Greece has dropped 27 places in the latest Economic Freedom of the World report compiled by the Fraser Institute think tank in Canada, falling to 116th among 159 countries, just days after learning it had also sunk on the World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Index.

Bulgaria ranks 20th in the EU in terms of economic freedom according to the annual report Economic Freedom of the World drafted by the Fraser Institute, compared to last year when the country ranked 15th.

Bulgaria has descended three spots in Fraser Institute's annual Economic Freedom of the World report, ranking 42nd among 157 countries and territories - at par with the Czech Republic, Sweden and Jamaica.

This year's edition of the report is based on 2013 statistics, the most recent year for which data is available. In last year's issue of the report Bulgaria ranked 39th.
