The cost of living in Bulgaria amounted to an average of 297 euro a month per member of a four-member household at the end of December 2017, while in order to have a normal standard of living, costs of such a family reached over 1176 euros. This is what data from the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria (CITUB) show.
