Bulgaria Ditches Dual Pricing for Euro Conversion
Bulgaria is ending its mandatory dual pricing period for displaying prices in both leva and euro, which was introduced as a temporary measure to help consumers adjust to the single European currency. The dual price display requirement will end on August 8, 2026.
From August 9, merchants will be required to show the selling and payable prices of goods and services only in euro. Businesses can still voluntarily display the equivalent value in leva as a reference, but this must be clearly indicated and presented accurately.
The National Revenue Agency will continue inspections related mainly to hidden income and tax violations, while complaints about unfair prices will be directed to the Consumer Protection Commission. Banks' violations related to currency exchange, fees, or customer service will remain under the supervision of the Bulgarian National Bank.
