Prices in Bulgaria — the large consumer basket since the euro changeover
The /prices page tracks retail prices of the 101 products in Bulgaria's large consumer basket (bread, milk, meat, fruit and vegetables, hygiene and medicinal products) since 1 January 2026, when the euro became the official currency. The data comes from the Consumer Protection Commission's (CPC) daily "How Much Does It Cost" open-data portal, covering 200+ retail chains across roughly 245 settlements.
This is a monitoring basket index, not the official Consumer Price Index (CPI). For official inflation see the indicators (Eurostat HICP).
What the page shows
Basket index since the euro — a daily series from 2 January 2026 (base 100), national and per-oblast, with a breakdown of which category is rising and which is falling.
Cheapest chains — retail chains ranked by the cost of the shared basket, with coverage (how many products are priced).
Cheapest and fastest-rising places — which towns and oblasts have the lowest basket cost and where prices rose the most since the euro.
Price map — two municipality choropleths: basket cost and change since the euro.
Prices for a specific settlement also appear on its dashboard in the Governance view.
