Statement from the Bulgarian Business Community in Support of the Accession of the Republic of Bulgaria to the Eurozone as of 1 January 2026

The British Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with a coalition of business organizations and bilateral chambers of commerce in Bulgaria has voiced strong support for the country’s accession to the eurozone.

We emphasize that adopting the euro will enhance economic stability, attract foreign investment, reduce transaction costs, and improve access to EU financial instruments. The move is expected to benefit Bulgarian businesses—especially SMEs—by fostering competitiveness, encouraging innovation, and easing cross-border operations. We assert that Bulgaria is fully prepared—economically, institutionally, and politically—and call on the European Commission to approve the country’s entry into the eurozone.
