PPIAF Support to the Regulatory Framework in the Water Sector in Bulgaria

In 2000, PPIAF assisted in the design of a new regulatory framework in the water sector in Bulgaria aimed to increase private sector participation. PPIAF's recommendations led to legislation for the establishment of a new regulator for the sector, the promulgation of the Water Supply and Sewerage Services Regulation Act in 2005 and the State Energy and Water Regulatory Commission.
