Today is the day: *Bulgaria is using the euro!* 🇪🇺 ❤️ 🇧🇬
Bulgarians can now benefit from *a more stable economy, stronger trade worldwide and not changing currency every time they travel* 🤝
To start using the euro, a country needs to have its *economy in check.* For example, it must have low inflation and a stable exchange rate between its currency and the euro.
That's not all - each new euro area member needs to be *proposed by the Commission, endorsed by the European Parliament* and, finally, *approved by EU countries.*
The European Parliament said yes to Bulgaria's membership bid in July 2025. Now, it's a reality.
Congratulations, Bulgaria - the 21st member of the euro area! 🎉🥳
