2026.05.1508:02:22UTC+00Bulgaria Q1 GDP Steady at 2.9%

According to preliminary estimates, the Bulgarian economy grew by 2.9% year-on-year in the first quarter of 2026, unchanged from the previous quarter. Net external demand supported overall growth, as exports of goods and services increased by 0.4% following stagnation in Q4 2025, while import growth slowed to 6.4% from 11.1%. However, this positive contribution was partly offset by weaker domestic demand. Final consumption growth eased to 6.9% from 7.9%, and growth in gross fixed capital formation slowed to 8% from 11.6% in the preceding quarter. On a quarterly basis, the economy expanded by 0.7% in Q1, matching the pace recorded in Q4 2025.
