Since the beginning of the year, Bulgaria has also met the price stability criterion for eurozone membership, Minister of Finance Temenuzhka Petkova said. At the opening of the Investor Day 2025: Embracing Opportunities forum in Sofia, she added that in early June, Bulgaria expects positive conclusions from the reports on the introduction of the euro, which are currently being prepared by the European Commission and the European Central Bank.

"Since the beginning of this year, Bulgaria has also consistently met the price stability criterion, which is a very good indicator for the development of our economy and we expect positive conclusions, so that from January 1, 2026, Bulgaria would take its rightful place in the eurozone. We are on our way to achieving one of the strategic goals of our country - membership in the eurozone," Minister Petkova said.
