Bulgaria’s Minister of Finance Temenuzhka Petkova announced that Bulgaria is expected to meet the eurozone's price stability criterion again in June. According to Minister Petkova, monthly inflation for June was 0.4% compared to May, when inflation was 0%. From the beginning of 2025 until now, inflation stands at 2.4%, Minister Petkova said.

"Inflation in Bulgaria remains within the price stability criteria", said Bulgarian National Bank Governor Dimitar Radev in an interview with Econostream Media. ''Inflation forecasting in the eurozone remains subject to considerable uncertainty. A temporary undershoot can not be ruled out based on current data, but underlying pressures —particularly from wages and services—remain evident'', Dimitar Radev added, commenting on the situation in Bulgaria and across the eurozone.
