Summary/Abstract: The Localization Index determines the specialization of the economy by region or administrative unit by measuring the relative weight of individual sectors within the region's entire economy. This analysis is based on the sectoral employment criterion (agriculture, industry, services). The report also looked at a calculated Localization Index to determine the specialization of the rural economy in Bulgaria - by area compared to the national one. Determining economic activities by sector, concentrated by field, would help to highlight competitive advantages and specialization in a particular area. And from there to stimulate their development and invest in them. This would increase the competitiveness not only of the region, but also of the region and the country.
