269 euro (526 leva) will be the poverty line in Bulgaria in 2024, the government has decided. It will rise by 11 euro. "About 800 000 people from vulnerable groups will receive more financial support in 2024 as a result of the increase in the poverty line," Minister of Labor and Social Policy Ivanka Shalapatova said.
