Bulgaria Ditches Dual Pricing as Euro Adoption Takes Hold

Bulgaria's transition to the euro is taking another significant step forward. As of tomorrow, August 9, 2026, businesses will no longer be required to display dual prices in levs and euros.

This change comes after the country switched from the lev to the euro on January 1, 2026. The dual pricing practice was implemented temporarily to help consumers adapt to the new currency and prevent unfair price increases during the exchange rate transition.

The official exchange rate remains fixed at 1 euro = 1.95583 levs. Businesses can still display the lev equivalent of products for informational purposes, but it must be clearly stated that the euro amount is the official price to be paid.
