According to international estimates the share of the hidden economy worldwide accounts for 10-12% of global GDP. In the transition economies however hidden economy reaches one fourth of GDP. Economic analyses show that if the share of the hidden sector exceeds a critical level (around 50% of GDP) it changes the ‘rules of the game’ in the whole economy. In Bulgaria the tax and tax enforcement burden, ineffective enforcement of laws and administrative barriers for businesses are the main factors stimulating informal economic activities. The publication presents the latest trends and challenges of the hidden economy to the private and public sector. It describes the various manifestations of the hidden economy and assesses its size, scope and characteristics in Bulgaria through six different methods. The publication underscores the necessity of international cooperation in the area of hidden economy. The authors conclude with recommendations for improvement of the legislative and regulatory framework for the business and its implementation. The publication includes contributions from experts of the National Social Security Institute, the Bulgarian National Bank, the National Statistical Institute, the Agency for Economic Analysis and Forecasting and the Center for Study of Democracy.

This is the latest joint publication of CiviLink Foundation and Coalition 2000, dedicated to problems which investigative journalists face, while revealing corruption cases and affairs. The author, Krassimir Dobrev, is a well-known journalist and JD graduate. As a leading analyst of "Sega" Daily, Mr. Dobrev worked on several issues related to political corruption. The author expresses an opinion, that the newly adopted Law on the Access to Public Information creates rather new obstacles for journalists, than to facilitate their efforts. There still exists a legal gap in defining such notions as "an official secret". In addition, the author reviews the major legal risks that journalists face. The book outlines his "practical advice to beginners" and how to avoid libel charges. The publication also contains some of the documents relevant to investigative journalism such as the full text of Recommendation No R (2000) 7 of the Council of Ministers to the Council of Europe. The book is designed for journalists, media law experts and politicians.
