• Euro adoption and price increases in Bulgaria – separating myths from facts (ECB Blog, 9 April 2026)проверено
  EN · достъп на 2026-10-20 · By G. Aguiari, M. Falagiarda, C. Gartner (ECB) and E. Ivanova (Bulgarian National Bank). Vendors were required to display prices in euro and lev from August 2025 to August 2026. HICP inflation fell from 3.5% in December 2025 to 2.3% in January 2026 and 2.1% in February. Month-on-month prices rose 0.6% in January 2026, driven mainly by food and services. Counterfactual estimate that inflation would have been 0.3–0.4 percentage points lower without unusual January increases in selected services. Retail micro data on about 1.4 million products from the Consumer Protection Commission's price monitoring portal show no systematic upward price adjustment. A time-series model for services suggests that monthly services inflation between May and December 2025 may have been around 0.4 percentage points higher than implied by cost and demand fundamentals, so some retailers adjusted prices ahead of the changeover, with an impact of roughly 0.1 percentage point on headline inflation in 2025.

The IMF ER dataset's euro series for Montenegro (MNE.XDC_USD, 2026-M08), which the currency rules use for euro amounts, gives the same end-August 2026 value (0.86237 euro per US$), so the conversions are identical on either basis.

  EN · достъп на 2026-10-20 · Table 1: ESR target −10% against 2005, progress 2022 +9.9% and 2023 +4.9% (approximated), NECP projection −11.06%; LULUCF additional net removal target −1.16 Mt CO2-eq, reported net removals 2022 −9.54 Mt, insufficient ambition with a gap of 1.45 Mt in 2030. Bulgaria submitted its final updated NECP on 14 January 2025, over six months after the deadline of 30 June 2024. The NECP projects total GHG (including LULUCF) −78.2% in 2030 and −92% in 2040 against 1990 and includes a commitment to climate neutrality by 2050. ESR sectors 52% of total emissions in 2023. 'The plan does not provide sufficient detail in the projections on agriculture', described as the largest source of non-CO2 emissions, especially N2O from agricultural soils. The plan refers to the 2019 adaptation strategy but lacks adaptation measures for most Energy Union dimensions.
