Bulgaria Fronteira

Visão geral da economia e do setor

Bulgaria is a lower-middle-income EU member state in southeastern Europe with a diversified economy anchored in manufacturing, energy, tourism, and a growing IT and business-process outsourcing sector. It adopted the euro on 1 January 2025, replacing the Bulgarian lev that had been pegged to the euro since 1999 under a currency board arrangement. Key export goods include refined petroleum, copper, electricity, wheat, and pharmaceutical products. The country benefits from competitive labour costs and EU structural and cohesion funds, while facing long-term demographic headwinds from an ageing and shrinking population. Real GDP growth reached 3.4% in 2024, among the stronger performances in the EU, supported by robust private consumption and investment.
