Latest Updates

Bulgaria’s economy stood at 3.1% year-on-year in the second quarter of 2025, unchanged from the previous quarter, preliminary estimates showed. The slowdown was largely driven by a negative contribution from net trade, as exports declined further (-4.9% vs -3.3% in Q1) and imports slipped (-0.6% vs 4.6%). Meanwhile, domestic demand eased, with final consumption growth rising to 6.5% from 7.1% in Q1. Gross fixed capital formation also increased at a slower pace of 6.7% compared to 7.4% previously. On a quarterly basis, the economy edged up by 0.7% from the 0.6% growth recorded in the last three-month period.
