Bulgarien Verbraucherpreise

Bulgaria’s annual inflation rate edged up to 3.7% in May 2025 from 3.5% in the previous month. Upward pressures came from accelerated price growth for most sectors: food and non-alcoholic beverages (6.9% vs 5.9% in April), housing utilities (6.4% vs 6.3%), restaurants and hotels (10.8% vs 10.6%), recreation and culture (7.2% vs 7.0%), and miscellaneous goods and services (4.1% vs 4.0%). Meanwhile, inflation moderated for education (7.0% vs 7.2%), and deflation continued for transport (-3.9% vs -3.1%), health (-4.7% vs -4.6%), and clothing and footwear (-0.5% vs -0.4%).
