The Bulgarian National Bank raised the base interest rate by 0.35% to 2.17%. The new base interest rate is effective as of March 1. In February the base rate was at 1.82%. The interest rate increase comes against the backdrop of increasing interest levels by the European Central Bank which raised the base rate by 0.5% in February.

The LEONIA Plus reference rate is a weighted average of the interest rates on all concluded unsecured overnight lending transactions in Bulgarian levs in the interbank market in Bulgaria.
