Economic Forecast Summary (June 2023)

June 2023

Economic Outlook - Bulgaria

Growth is projected to slow to 1.9% in 2023 due to global headwinds, including the slowdown in Bulgaria’s main trading partners, but then rebound to 3.2% in 2024. Private consumption growth will slow in line with lower employment growth. The disbursement of EU funds was delayed in 2022, but is expected to catch up to a large extent in 2023. Inflation is expected to moderate in 2023 and in 2024, but there are risks from high wage increases.
