Special-Subject Statistics

*Girl shepherdess with sheep, Bulgaria.* [between ca. 1880 and 1924]. Frank and Frances Carpenter Collection. Library of Congress Prints & Photographs Division.

This section includes publications on selected special subjects -- agriculture, housing, and public finances. The decision to cover one subject, and not another, was made based on the strengths of the Library of Congress collections and on the desire to have more complete coverage of topics present in the censuses. For example, there are statistical sources for agriculture and housing in addition to what is found in the censuses. Statistics are produced on almost every subject, but listing and annotating all would be impossible.

If a subject of interest is not covered here, first consult Statisticheski godishnik [Statistical Yearbook], described in the section on National Level Statistics, to get some numbers. Also try searching the Library of Congress online catalog or WorldCat using subject headings such as "Public health -- Bulgaria -- Statistics -- Periodicals" or "Publishers and publishing -- Bulgaria -- Statistics." The pattern for the subject headings usually includes the words "Bulgaria" and "statistics."

The agricultural censuses are interspersed and described in the section on census publications, because their results are frequently published jointly with population and housing census results. Agricultural censuses in Bulgaria were conducted during every population census except 1881, 1885, 1985, and 1992; thus they exist for the following years: 1888, 1893, 1900, 1905, 1910, 1920, 1926, 1934, 1946, 1956, 1965, 1975, 2001. In addition, there were annual compilations of data on sown land and crops until 1993, and agricultural censuses separate from population censuses, such as in 2003 and 2010. More data can be found on the website of the Bulgarian Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry External, which has current information on various topics related to agriculture. A brief description of the website appears in the section titled "Online Resources." The Ministry publishes a bulletin and an annual report, both of which contain many statistics in this field of study. Listed below are non-census sources for agricultural statistics.

Each issue of this bulletin covers a separate subject, such as a survey of vineyards for a particular year, or the activity of milk-producing enterprises in Bulgaria for a particular year. This title should not be confused with the Ministry's Informatsionen biuletin [Information Bulletin], which does not contain statistics, but rather has laws, regulations, and announcements. Only selected bulletins have appeared in English translation. In order to find them, use the search function on the site of the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Forestry External for the English word "Bulletin."

The housing censuses are interspersed, and described, in the section above, on census publications, because their results are usually published jointly with population census results. Housing censuses were conducted during every population census except 1946, thus they exist for the following years: 1881 (just dwellings, not a real housing census), 1888, 1893, 1900, 1905, 1910, 1920, 1926, 1934, 1956, 1965, 1975, 1985, 1992, 2001, and 2011. Besides the housing census publications, several additional publications are presented below. To find other works in this area, search the Library of Congress online catalog or WorldCat using subject headings such as "Housing -- Bulgaria -- Statistics" or "Housing surveys -- Bulgaria -- Statistics."

This annual has figures for residential buildings and dwellings by oblast, and numbers for the amount of usable floor space. The publication is bilingual, in Bulgarian and English. It is no longer published in print, but can be found on the NSI website in an e-version, or purchased as a CD-ROM. Data are still available on the site from 2009 and on, but are no longer in an annual-report format. Follow the link above for post-2009 information.

This section is devoted to government finances, such as the annual federal budgets and the financial situation of the state treasury. Some of these figures also appear in Statisticheski godishnik [Statistical Yearbook]. This kind of data is usually produced by the Ministry of Finance or the Bulgarian National Bank, not the national statistical agency. This guide annotates important publications related to public finance during the pre- and post-communist eras, but little for the communist period, when Bulgaria was a planned economy. For the post-communist era, the website of the Bulgarian National Bank External is very useful, because it has government-related financial data about government debt and accounts, including some information for municipal public finances. Most publications of the Bulgarian National Bank will not be discussed in this guide, because its activities regarding public finance are only one part of its many functions. Because it holds so much information on this topic, the Ministry of Finance External website is annotated in the section entitled "Online Resources."

These volumes are the annual budgets for the government of Bulgaria, which were voted upon in the National Assembly. They show allocated expenses for various ministries and branches of government, and the percent difference from the previous year's budget. The budget also shows income based on taxes and government debt. The edict or ukaz issued by the tsar about the budget is reproduced at the beginning of each volume. The edicts and general figures in these volumes also appear every year in the Bulgarian official gazette, Durzhaven vestnik, but the full details, with breakdowns by ministry, appear only in the published volumes.

For the communist era, consult Durzhaven vestnik to access the state budgets. It appears that full, separate budget publications were not produced. However, the online catalog of the National Library in Sofiia shows that there were annual dokladi or rechi [reports/speeches], of approximately 40-50 pages each, presented to the National Assembly on the budget throughout the 1950s and 1960s. The Library of Congress does not hold any of these publications to examine and annotate.

The website of the Ministry of Finance has full-text versions of the budgets and related reports beginning with 1997. The Ministry of Finance site also provides citations to printings in Durzhaven vestnik of the annual budgetary ukaz, 1945-2014. For earlier years, there is an annual index bound with the main title, Durzhaven vestnik, listing the ukazi and the issue in which they are published. The Ministry of Finance is the issuing body for the state budgets.
