GDP in Bulgaria grew only marginally in 2012, failing to produce a noticeable mark on the weak economic trajectory of the latest years. A short-lived recovery in private consumption during spring and summer could not be sustained and the deteriorating external environment in the closing months of the year brought renewed concerns of a possible new downturn. The policy stance seems frozen in expectation of the general elections in mid-2013. There is little chance of change in this constellation in the short run, at least until the elections, and the economic growth is likely to remain unimpressive.

Greek Cyprus' offshore natural gas deposits are enough to warrant the construction of a gas processing plant to export excess supply, regardless of whether Israel decides to be a partner in the project, the island nation's foreign minister said Wednesday.
Ioannis Kasoulides said Greek Cyprus is continuing talks with Israel, which has also discovered its own offshore gas deposits, on ways the countries can best exploit their mineral reserves. Greek Cyprus is particularly keen, hoping its future gas wealth will help pull it out of a crushing economic crisis that has forced it to ask for an international bailout.
