The World Bank has lowered its forecasts for the economic growth of the global economy and Bulgaria for this and next year. The assessment is part of the regular analysis of the international financial institution, published every 6 months - "Global Economic Prospects".

In 2025, Bulgaria's GDP is expected to grow by 2 percent, after registering a growth of 2.8% in 2024. Compared to expectations from January, the World Bank reduces its forecast by 0.8 percent.

For 2026, the Washington-based financial institution expects the Bulgarian economy to grow by 2.2 percent instead of the January forecast of 2.7%.
