Details

The data is available at the National Statistics Institute. It keeps data on quite a lot of aspects of economics and demographics. The data is however only in XLS format (when it is not as PDF) and in Bulgarian language. Bulk download is not possible. Historic data is limited. Despite a detailed data release schedule (see for ex. http://www.nsi.bg/bg/content/11918/basic-page/%D0%BA%D0%B0%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B4%D0%B0%D1%80-%D0%B7%D0%B0-%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%B7%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%BE%D1%81%D1%82%D1%80%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%B8%D0%B5-%D0%BD%D0%B0-%D1%80%D0%B5%D0%B7%D1%83%D0%BB%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5-%D0%BE%D1%82-%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B0%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%81%D1%82%D0%B8%D1%87%D0%B5%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D1%82%D0%B5-%D0%B8%D0%B7%D1%81%D0%BB%D0%B5%D0%B4%D0%B2%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%B8%D1%8F), the data is not always up-to-date.
