The Life Sciences sector, including pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, medical devices, plant sciences and animal health, is one of the leading and fastest growing sectors of the Bulgarian economy. It is characterised by high quality production at competitive prices.

Since Bulgaria’s European Union accession in January 2007, the Bulgarian pharmaceutical legislation has been harmonised with the EU regulations in the field. Bulgarian manufacturers are continuously making significant investments in modernisation of their production facilities.

KPMG has had a long and enduring commitment to this sector by serving clients with a combination of deep technical knowledge and broad insight into industry specifics. Our services are designed to help companies to enhance their competitive positioning in this fast-changing and intensely global industry.

KPMG offers its pharmaceutical clients a very broad range of advisory and tax consulting services, independent audit and accounting services. Most importantly, KPMG professionals who serve our clients continually strive to refine and share our knowledge of current issues, leading practices, and developing trends as part of the service.
