Bulgarian President Rosen Plevneliev stated that Bulgaria ranks among the top three outsourcing destinations in the world. Plevneliev said this during the opening of a new office of TELUS International Europe in Plovdiv.

In his words, currently Bulgaria is the third best outsourcing destination in the world and ranks first in Europe.

A total of 250 people have been hired by the company so far, with their number expected to double by the end of the year. The office in Plovdiv will provide employment to 300 of them.
