Latest Updates
The Bulgarian economy grew by 3.2% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2025, matching preliminary estimates but slowing from the 3.4% expansion recorded in the previous three-month period. This marked the slowest pace of growth since the fourth quarter of 2024, reflecting a moderation in final consumption (7.9% vs 8.5% in Q2) amid a sharp slowdown in government spending (2% vs 10.1%), even as household consumption accelerated (9% vs 8.3%). Net external demand also weighed on GDP, as exports of goods and services declined at a faster pace (-5.6% vs -5.4%), while imports of goods and services rose significantly (4.1% vs 0.4%). Meanwhile, gross fixed capital formation edged higher (8.7% vs 8.6%). On a quarterly basis, the economy expanded 0.7% in Q3 2025, confirming preliminary estimates but slightly easing from the 0.9% increase registered in the previous quarter.
