Bulgaria Outlook 2026
Global macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges weighed on the Bulgarian economy over the past year, primarily through weaker external trade dynamics. Despite this, economic growth remained solid.

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%). ...

Wiser Technologies (WISR, BGN 4.52, -4.24%) and Advance Terrafund (ATER, BGN 2.62, -2.60%) led the declines, weighing broadly on sentiment. At the same time, Sopharma (SFA, BGN 2.72, +1.12%) and Sirma Group (SGH, BGN 1.72, +0.58%) attracted renewed interest after their latest financial results outperformed expectations.

The Bulgarian equity market opened on a lower note on Friday, pressured by the placement of a 2.5% stake in Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE, BGN 10.80, -4.42%) at a price well below the market level. The discount-driven sale widened declines through the session, sending the major indexes lower. SOFIX (1 068.14) slipped below its 50-day moving average, as a 2.30% gain in Shelly Group (SLYG, EUR 53.40, +2.30%) was not enough to offset losses elsewhere. Trading activity remained subdued, with BSE alo...

The Bulgarian benchmark index SOFIX climbed 1.12% to 1025.22, reaching a record 16-year high on the final trading day of the week. The rise was driven by strong performances from Bulgarian Real Estate Fund (BREF, BGN 4.94, +2.23%) and Sopharma (SFA, BGN 7.00, +6.06%). Meanwhile Neochim (NEOH, BGN 22.00, -2.65%) and Albena (ALB, BGN 26.20, -2.96%) traded lightly and curbed the broader market’s momentum.
