- Bulgaria ended mandatory dual pricing in leva and euro on 8 August 2026; from 9 August, merchants must show prices only in euro.
- Leva amounts may still be shown voluntarily, but only as reference, and the euro price must be the official payable amount.
- The fixed conversion rate remains 1 euro = 1.95583 leva, with rounding rules in place to protect consumers.
- Consumer authorities continue checking for unfair practices, wrong conversions, and unjustified price increases.
- Leva can still be exchanged for euro at banks until 31 December 2026, while the Bulgarian National Bank will exchange them free of charge without limits or deadlines.
