Bulgaria’s 5-year inflation hits 41% as coffee, bread soar

ByEnigma 808

Bulgaria recorded an accumulated inflation of 41 percent over five years from September 2020 to September 2025, according to National Statistical Institute Chairman Atanas Atanasov. Annual inflation reached 5.6 percent in September, but some products saw price increases exceeding 20 percent. Coffee, bread, and fresh fruit led the surge, while oil and flour rose 10 to 15 percent, and eggs climbed nearly 10 percent.

The State Commission on Commodity Exchanges and Markets reported that seasonal factors drove the consumer basket up 2 leva weekly to 97 leva from 95 leva. Autumn typically brings gradual price increases as local harvests decline and off-season products enter markets. The commission found no evidence of non-market practices or price manipulation. Bulgarian markets remain highly competitive with promotional activity limiting price growth across the region.
