ИКОНОМИЧЕСКИ РАСТЕЖ ПО ВРЕМЕ НА КРИЗА – МИТ ИЛИ РЕАЛНОСТ В СТРАНИТЕ ОТ ОЧИС
ECONOMIC GROWTH IN TIMES OF CRISIS – MYTH OR REALITY IN THE BSEC COUNTRIES

Summary/Abstract: The paper presents a study of the economic development of the countries from the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC) block as an opportunity to assess the rate and pace of their economic development and the opportunities for Bulgaria, Romania and Greece (the EU member-states in BSEC) to develop their growth potential. Especially important (in times of global financial and economic crisis) is the relation between the GDP and the ability of free foreign trade economies to establish growth factors. The study focuses on the economic potential within the BSEC in terms of the main trends and growth factors in the BSEC economies. The aim of this study is to provide a critical analysis of the economic development trends of the BSEC countries in terms of identification of key factors supporting economic growth in the 21st century. The study is structured in two parts. The first part presents a comparative monitoring analysis of the trends in the key macroeconomic indicators for the period 2003-2010 in the BSEC countries. The second part presents growth rate models of the BSEC countries in terms of the level of openness of their economies and the dynamics of their export and import flows.
