Public budgets

Bulgaria: public budget

What Bulgaria's government raised and what it spent it on, from the figures its own budget laws or a statistics office publish. Solon places every figure on the same international classification, so it can be compared with any other place.

General government, 1999

Outturn: what came in and was spent
