Prices in May have shown slight upward fluctuations but in general, they remain at the levels of April, while for some goods they reached record high levels (antibacterial products) and high levels (lemons, apples, fish, pork). This is what a survey of the Confederation of Independent Trade Unions in Bulgaria on the dynamics of prices of 31 food and non-food products in the country shows. Compared to prices immediately before the state of emergency, there has been a rise for all observed goods, with only the prices of cucumbers and tomatoes declining.

According to CITUB, the drastic reduction of incomes due to the crisis and reduced consumption will lead to stabilization of prices. Most of the budget of Bulgarian households goes for food, which takes an average of 30% of the budget, trade unions said.
