Bulgaria Ends Mandatory Dual Price Display on August 8, 2026

The mandatory dual display of prices in leva and euro in Bulgaria will end on August 8, 2026. This measure was introduced to help consumers get used to the euro currency and prevent unfair price increases by traders.

From August 9, 2026, merchants must announce the selling and payable prices of goods and services in euros. They may continue to display the lev equivalent for informational purposes only, but it must be clear that the euro price is the only selling and payable price.

Currency conversion must be carried out at the official fixed rate of 1 euro = 1.95583 leva, as specified in Article 12 of the Euro Adoption Act. Traders are also required to round amounts in euros according to legally defined rules.
