The 2026 state budget will be balanced and more conservative than reform-oriented, National Assembly Chair Raya Nazaryan (GERB-UDF) said on Bulgarian National Television (BNT) on Sunday.
She noted that thanks to Bulgaria’s regular government, the budget will be submitted and adopted before the start of the fiscal year. The three budget laws are expected to be reviewed by the National Council for Tripartite Cooperation in the coming days before being approved by the Council of Ministers and submitted to Parliament. According to Nazaryan, no major changes are expected on the revenue or expenditure sides.
Nazaryan stressed that Bulgaria’s legislation and systems are fully prepared for the euro adoption. “The budget is drafted in euros, which means that both the state and the Bulgarian National Bank will transition smoothly from January 1, 2026,” she said.
Commenting on the parliamentary majority, she explained that it currently includes four groups and that the Movement for Rights and Freedoms (MRF) – New Beginning faction has no voting rights in the Council for Joint Governance. Decision-making within the ruling coalition is based on consensus, she added.
On the issue of the Burgas refinery and U.S. sanctions against Lukoil, Nazaryan said concrete government decisions are probably expected by Wednesday. “There is sufficient fuel in the refinery, in tax warehouses, and in the State Reserve, so people should not worry,” she noted.
Asked about speculation that President Rumen Radev might form a political party, Nazaryan said, “As long as he is president, he has no right to do so. Once he leaves office, he can, like any other Bulgarian citizen.” 2026 Budget Will Be Balanced and More Conservative than Reformist, Parliament Chair Nazaryan Says THE NEWS FROM BULGARIA – NEWS AGENCY 2009-2025 2025-11-02 21:53:08 Latest news World news Country news Most important news latest news most important latest of the day Justice Petar Nizamov Feathers Petar Nizamov- Feathers Justice bg iustitia.bg iustitia iusticia usticia investigation Burgas Bulgaria news news of the last hour news of the day news of today Bulgaria news The news from Bulgaria blitz news top news most important most commented latest news Boyko Borisov news weather coronavirus news news weather facebook youtube facebook instagram news today news of the last minutes news today today news news bg news leading news hot news bg news site for news all news news bg news of the last hour latest latest news bg news of today news today news today news of the last hour latest news today news bg news news 24 hours news vesti bg novini news world bird bg bivol bg bivol trud bg novini latest news today novinite bg news hello bulgaria political party coat of arms delyan peevski scandalous Bulgarian National Television Free Europe Television scandal exclusive live tv live right now tv tv online tv program bg live now tv news online tv online live court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas court Burgas district court Burgas district court Burgas appellate court Burgas prosecutor Burgas prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Burgas district prosecutor’s office Prosecutor General Ivan Geshev Prosecutor Geshev Tsatsarov Ministry of Internal Affairs Burgas ODMR Burgas ODPR Burgas police Burgas district police Burgas prosecutor Tsatsarov SGS cases Varna court chairman of the SGS court decisions on civil cases decisions on cases Plovdiv court decision of the court decisions cases Varna court criminal cases district district court decisions work in the court SGS chairman of the SGS judges Sofia court post judges Plovdiv court Plovdiv judges Plovdiv Supreme Court Inspectorate Supreme Court Supreme Judicial Council lawyer lawyer criminal cases lawyer civil cases lawyer marriage cases lawyer administrative criminal law criminal process civil law civil process administrative law constitutional law
