The Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) said that it expects Bulgaria’s economy to expand by 1.9% in 2022, revising downwards its March growth forecast of 2.1%.
The slower GDP growth will be determined by the negative contribution of net exports, which will be only partially offset by the projected increase in domestic demand, the BNB said.
BNB revised downwards Bulgaria's GDP growth forecast for 2023 from 3.9% to 1.7%. The Bulgarian National Bank revised upwards its inflation forecast for 2022 from 9.6% to 14.7%.
The deteriorating international environment, energy shortages and rising international commodity prices pose risks to the Bulgarian economy, the analysis reads.
