Bulgaria Ditches Dual Pricing as Euro Transition Enters Next Phase

The Bulgarian government is about to mark an important milestone in its transition to the euro. From August 9, 2026, businesses will no longer be required to display dual prices in euros and levs.

This change comes after a temporary period of dual pricing was implemented on January 1, 2026, when Bulgaria switched from the lev to the euro. The government wanted to help consumers adapt to the new currency and prevent unfair price increases during the exchange rate transition.

The official exchange rate remains the same: 1 euro = 1.95583 levs. Businesses can still display the lev equivalent of products, but it will be for informational purposes only. The euro amount will be the official price that consumers must pay.
