In September 2025, Bulgaria experienced an 8.4% rise in producer prices compared to the same month the previous year, building on a 7.9% increase in August. This marked the eleventh consecutive month of producer price inflation. This uptick was largely driven by significant price hikes in the mining and quarrying sectors, which soared to 22.4% from 14.4% in August, and in the manufacturing sector, which increased to 11.4% from 10.2%. Conversely, there was a slight relief in costs associated with the supply of electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning, which saw a deceleration to 10.6% from 11.9%. On a month-to-month comparison, producer prices experienced a decline of 0.4% in September, following a 0.2% decrease in August.
