Bulgaria indicators since 2005 — KPI dashboard

The /indicators dashboard surfaces 12 headline indicators — GDP growth, HICP inflation, unemployment, consumer sentiment, government debt, budget balance, fiscal reserve, EU funds, WGI control of corruption, trust in government, youth unemployment and at-risk-of-poverty rate. Each tile shows the latest value, year-on-year change (coloured by semantic direction), an EU27 rank badge where available, and a sparkline with cabinet-colour bands. Below the dashboard, per-cabinet summary cards average each government's tenure across GDP, inflation, unemployment, debt change, budget balance and net EU funds.
