77.6% of Bulgarians say they are saving up, 62% keep their money at home and do not trust banks.

12.3% of Bulgarians are financially literate, indicates a report by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development on “Financial Literacy of Adults in South East Europe”. Bulgaria is the country with the highest percentage of young people with financial knowledge higher than that of adults. The survey in Bulgaria, Croatia, North Macedonia, Moldova, Montenegro and Romania shows a low level of confidence in pensioning systems – 25%. In Bulgaria, 39% of respondents say they do not trust the pensioning system. One-third of adults are satisfied with their financial position, 41% are not. A little under 60% say they are finding it difficult to pay their day-to-day expenses, and that money controls their lives.
