The Bulgarian National Bank changed its projections about the inflation in 2019. Three months ago BNB forecasted that the annual inflation would reach 2.6%, but now it expects that there is 60% chance that annual inflation will fluctuate between 1.1% and 4%. The Bulgarian National Bank expects higher annual inflation, because of the increase of the international prices of food and fuels, the increase of prices of services in Bulgaria, higher labor costs and consumer demand. Inflation will accelerate slowly at the end of 2019 and will gradually slow down to 2.1% at the end of 2020, the macroeconomic analysis of BNB reads.
