Balgarianovinite.com The Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) observed an increase in turnover of nearly 184% over the past week, as Bulgaria joined the eurozone in 2026, the BSE reported on Tuesday. The number of transactions also rose over the past week by 112.79% on a year-to-year basis.
The main index of the Bulgarian Stock Exchange, SOFIX, started 2026 with an increase of 14.41% in the first trading week following Bulgaria’s entry into the eurozone. The index rose from 1,156.43 to 1,323.06 points.
A similar parallel in the increase in trading activity can be drawn with another key historical moment in the country’s history – the accession of Bulgaria to the European Union, which took place in 2007. Data from early 2007 show that in the first week after joining the EU, SOFIX increased by 6.37%, from 1,224.12 to 1,302.81 points. Turnover grew by 12.24% from the previous year, while the number of transactions doubled.
The BSE website cited BSE Executive Director Manyu Moravenov as saying: “Joining the eurozone places Bulgaria in a new position on Europe’s financial map. The market reaction, even on the very first trading day, is indicative – SOFIX rose by 3.7% in just one day and continued at a similar pace in the days that followed. This is a clear sign of long-term confidence building, improved market infrastructure, and higher financial awareness.”
The upward trend in turnover and the main index continues in the first days of the second week of trading in euro. Market participants expect the transition to the euro to facilitate access for international investors and to support deeper integration of the Bulgarian capital market, the BSE concluded.
