Investment profiles design and appications for small border situated municipalities

Abstract

One of the practical instruments for matching the macro policy documents as regional/municipal plans and strategies to the business needs of the local SMEs is the regional/community investment profile. In practical terms and in different types such profiles were developed or are in stage of finalisation in few Bulgarian border municipalities at the Bulgarian –Romania border and the Bulgarian – Serbia areas. The combinations between the success of the investment profiles themselves and the subsidies for the investments and the utilization of certain infrastructure among the SMEs will throw additional light on the approaches in which the national and the regional strategies will be translated at the micro-economic level.
