Consumption in Bulgaria — prices and the cost of living

The Consumption view brings the cost-of-living data together and shows it at every tier — national, Sofia, oblast, municipality and settlement. The foundation for now is the 101-product large consumer basket since the euro changeover on 1 January 2026, from the Consumer Protection Commission's (CPC) daily "How Much Does It Cost" open-data portal.

This is a monitoring basket index, not the official Consumer Price Index (CPI). For official inflation see the indicators (Eurostat HICP).

What the view shows

  • Price basket — a daily index since the euro, national and per-oblast, with a category breakdown and the cheapest chains.
  • Price map — municipality choropleths: basket cost and change since the euro.
  • By place — basket prices for each oblast, municipality and settlement, with coverage.
