Bulgaria has finalized plans to embrace the euro, paving its way to become the 21st member state of the eurozone. Operating under a currency board since 1997, the Bulgarian lev has maintained a fixed exchange rate against the Deutsche Mark and subsequently the euro. With a target date set for 1 January 2025, the adoption of the euro marks a historic transition, making it only the second national currency in Bulgaria's over 140-year history, following the introduction of the lev. The official exchange rate is set at 1.95583 lev for 1 euro.
