In October 2021, the annual inflation in Bulgaria reached 6%, while the monthly inflation reached 1.8 percent in comparison to September, according to the National Statistical Institute. In August the annual inflation was 3.7%.

At the same time, on the day after the election, the caretaker government offered to sell another 250m euros in new domestic debt in the form of government securities. For the first time this year, the Ministry of Finance is offering securities with a maturity of 3.5 years, after it became clear in recent months that 5 and 10.5-year securities were becoming more expensive. The new debt since the beginning of the year has reached 1.4 billion euros with a limit of 2.25 billion euros set in the state budget.
