Bulgaria Ditches Dual Prices as Eurozone Transition Completes

Bulgaria has completed its transition to the eurozone, marking a significant milestone in its economic integration with Europe. As of August 8, 2026, it is no longer mandatory for shops and businesses to display prices in both levs and euros.

The dual price indication was a tool designed to reduce the psychological and economic impact of the currency change. By maintaining amounts in both currencies for seven months, consumers could easily compare prices, detect rounding, and understand the real equivalence between the old and new currencies.

With the end of dual price indication, Bulgaria enters a more normalized phase of using the single currency, eliminating exchange costs and simplifying operations with eurozone partners. The fixed conversion rate of 1 euro for 1.95583 levs ensures that exchange values are determined and do not fluctuate.
