In February 2011, The Financial Times reported that the global outsourcing industry will see wide-reaching shifts as a result of the political turmoil in the Middle East - and the latest reports coming out of Bulgaria suggest that their forecast was spot-on ...
After significant growth in visitors last year as a result of civil unrest in the Middle East, Bulgaria is now likely to attract outsourcing investments diverted from the region.
According to CallPoint New Europe, a major services outsourcing company operating in Bulgaria, European firms that have been using the services of outsourcing centres in Egypt and Tunisia are currently considering moving their operations to more secure locations such as Bulgaria and Romania.
Bulgaria's advantages are said to be their EU membership, a lower risk of terrorist attacks and revolutions and greater political stability and as well as their strong cultural, physical and economic proximity to Europe.
"We are currently holding talks with investors, mostly from France, who are pulling out of North Africa and are looking towards Eastern Europe as an outsourcing destination. That is why, for these and other projects, we have grounds to believe that we will appoint at least 250 new employees by the end of the year. We have positive expectations for our business and expect a double-digit growth," Filip Ugrinov, CEO of CallPoint New Europe, is quoted as saying.
CallPoint New Europe has sales offices in New York, London, and Paris, and delivery offices in Bucharest, and Bulgaria's Sofia and Plovdiv.
