Bulgarian governments since 2005

Every cabinet that has held power in Bulgaria since 2005, shown as a coloured band on a shared timeline. Overlaid lines plot the macroeconomic backdrop — real GDP growth, harmonised inflation (HICP), and unemployment — so each term sits next to the economic conditions in which it governed.
