FX.co ★ Bulgaria’s Industrial Output Falls in April

Bulgaria’s industrial production fell 4.1% year-on-year in April 2026, reversing part of March’s 4.7% increase. The decline was mainly driven by lower output of capital goods (-3.2% vs. -5.1% in March), intermediate goods (-5.9% vs. -2.6%), and durable consumer goods (-3.2% vs. -5.1%). At the same time, growth in energy goods (3.3% vs. 52.9%) and non-durable consumer goods (1.1% vs. 4.3%) slowed markedly. On a monthly basis, industrial output contracted by 4.6% after a 5.2% expansion in March.
