Exchange of former national currency
The dual display of prices in lev and euro became compulsory on 8 August 2025 and will apply until 8 August 2026. In order to protect consumers and address their concerns about unjustified price increases in the changeover period, Bulgaria relies on the strict application of consumer protection law and information campaigns. The prices of 101 frequently purchased products have been monitored daily and published on a dedicated website during the changeover by the Consumer Protection Commission, to provide information to the public and an incentive to businesses not to abusively increase prices during the changeover.
