La Bulgaria aderirà completamente all’Eurozona in 3-4 settimane. Quali sono le vostre aspettative a breve e lungo termine? Viaggi, investimenti, stabilità, economia, integrità, ecc.?

Big part of the population will blame Euro with price increase/inflation for next 30 years.

It’s worth it to note that Bulgaria has been in a fixed exchange rate with the euro for as long as it has existed. The lev was tied to the deutche mark before that.
While some businesses will use it as a justification to raise prices, and some transaction costs will be eliminated, imho very little will change.

it may be boost for the business and tourism. Also, cross-border shopping will be happening more with other euro-countries (Greece) when people can compare prices directly (petrol, food, etc..) Prices may go up a little.
Propery prices will go up as more small foreign investors start moving in.
If not careful your economy may got stuck like Slovakia’s and government will have not many tools to play with the currency (good and bad)

The euro is a project created by Germany for Germany. Its very essence is to generate benefits for the German economy. At this point, most eurozone countries lose out by having the euro instead of their own currency. If any country other than Germany gains from the euro, it is merely a side effect and a rare coincidence. A guaranteed increase in prices for every Bulgarian.

As a Czech I kinda envy them. We did a great mistake we didn’t join Eurozone together with Slovakia back in 2008.

This is such a mistake. The EU is allowing itself to be infiltrated by bad faith actors.

They’ll blame euro for inflation instead of local businesses being greedy in the short term. Tight budget control or a debt crisis in the long term.

The only advantage will be for traveling Bulgarians, because foreigners traveling to Bulgaria… I know there’s some tourism revenue there, but the foreign investments WERE THEY REALLY HINDERED by the lack of euro?
The REAL benefits will show up in 5 to 10 years. Hope Bulgarians learn English by then.

I wonder – really wonder – if the has been thought through with voters in mind in the remaining Eurozone. It feels a little bit reckless to expand the Eurozone IMO..

As native Bulgarian, this change would have short term negative impact initially. The government did a poor job convincing the people this is a good transition. The greedy private companies would find a reason to round the prices of food and goods, there will be a ways to abuse the situation and blame the inflation. It is not the Euro at fault, it’s us – the people who are unable to keep the control.

To all Bulgarians I just have to say: prepare yourself.
No, really. Go to grocery store tomorrow and write down the prices of stuff you usually buy. Then go again to the same supermarket the first working day after New Year and you’ll see prices increased, some even up to 2€.
And soon after that, your statistic bureau will report about massive inflation because inflation is, simply said, stuff collectively getting more expensive. A year after, your statistic bureau will report of massive economy boost which government will use to brag for months to come. The economy boost will be real, but it’s only present because people are spending more due to everything being more expensive. You, on the other hand, will instead two-three full bags from the store come with one as you’ll be able to afford less for your salary.
Massive amount of Croats still go to shopping in Slovenia and Hungary due to stuff being up to 50% cheaper.
Adopting euro is a really good strategy, and I’m glad we adopted it. But government did literally nothing to protect us people and is the one to blame for inflation in Croatia. They threatened businesses that rose prices but never fined anyone. They sent inspectors just to find a bunch of violations, yet they just issued warnings which businesses casually ignored. Government even paid for TV/radio/internet/newspaper ads in which they assured us nothing will get more expensive.
