  RESEARCH ON THE INFLUENCE OF THE EU INTEGRATION ON THE INTENSITY OF BULGARIA’S INTRA-INDUSTRY TRADE (IIT)

  The international trade liberalisation is a natural prerequisite for the growth of intra-industry trade volume between countries. In the EU this trend is influenced by the enlargement process, which involves the introduction and application of a general legal basis. In this context, the study aims to capture the trends and changes in the structure ... The international trade liberalisation is a natural prerequisite for the growth of intra-industry trade volume between countries. In the EU this trend is influenced by the enlargement process, which involves the introduction and application of a general legal basis. In this context, the study aims to capture the trends and changes in the structure of IIT between Bulgaria and EU countries and to evaluate the effects of the established trade patterns between the abovementioned countries. The main focus of the research, in the context of the Bulgarian intra-industry specialization within the EU, is on the volume and structure of the trade flows between Bulgaria and EU countries. With a view to achieving greater thoroughness the IIT structures (import and export) of the EU Member States are treated aggregately.

  INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS OF INVESTMENT RISK IN A CRISIS

  The management of investment projects is related to the formation of such an investment portfolio, which would guarantee them the highest financial return. The main characteristic of investments is the „risk-return” ratio. The interdependence between these two categories is generally directly proportional – i.e. the pursuit of higher returns ... The management of investment projects is related to the formation of such an investment portfolio, which would guarantee them the highest financial return. The main characteristic of investments is the „risk-return” ratio. The interdependence between these two categories is generally directly proportional – i.e. the pursuit of higher returns involves taking more risk and conversely, low-risk investments inherently carry more modest but secure returns. What determines the choice of suitable investment are personal preferences and willingness of each investor to take the risk. Collective investment schemes and insurance companies are among the most important players in the global financial market. The trends for sustainable development in a crisis are revealed by performing a retrospective, diagnostic and prognostic financial analysis of risk and return on temporarily invested free funds of life insurance companies and by studying the effectiveness of investment funds portfolio management.

  INCOMES, CONSUMPTION AND ECONOMIC GROWTH

  Eeconomic growth can be influenced by a number of factors, but certainly among the most important ones are the incomes and consumption of the population. An increase in incomes leads to increased consumption, which in turn, stimulates pro-duction, i.e. the creation of more goods and services and therefore causes an increase in the volume of gross ... Eeconomic growth can be influenced by a number of factors, but certainly among the most important ones are the incomes and consumption of the population. An increase in incomes leads to increased consumption, which in turn, stimulates pro-duction, i.e. the creation of more goods and services and therefore causes an increase in the volume of gross output and therefore gross value added. In the process of implementing the project task we had to thoroughly analyse the triad of „income-consumption-economic growth”. We also processed a large amount of statistical information, analyzed data obtained from surveys and studied the research of Bulgarian and foreign authors.
