Several factors underpinned this robust consumption growth with the most important being the growth of compensation and the euro transition effect. For 2026 the projections by major i...

The Bulgarian equity market extended its very strong start of the year, marking the fourth trading session under the newly adopted euro denomination. The major indexes continued to build gains, with BGREIT (229.89, -0.90%) being an exception, pressured by renewed weakness in the real estate sector. Strong price spikes in Sirma Group (SGH, EUR 1.11, +12.12%), Eurohold (EUBG, EUR 1.01, +5.21%), and Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, EUR 7.30, +9.77%) supported the advance in SOFIX (1 267.03, +1.01%). ...

The Bulgarian equities extended their benchmark-led advance for a second consecutive session this week, sending SOFIX (1 086.47, +0.57%) to within a tick of its 18-year high.
