The two most sought-after currencies by Bulgarians in 2024 remain the US dollar and the euro, just as in 2023. The Turkish lira, the Romanian leu and the Serbian dinar were also very popular, followed by the British pound and the Swiss franc. This was stated by financial analyst Max Baklayan in an interview with BNR Varna.

Among the currencies sought by Bulgarians are some more exotic ones. The flow of tourists to the United Arab Emirates and shopping in Dubai put the dirham in 7th place in terms of demand. The Thai baht has overtaken the Canadian dollar, also due to high tourist interest in the Asian country. The Chinese yuan climbed from 21st position in 2023 to 13th position last year. The opposite is true for the Israeli shekel, which has fallen from 16th position in 2023 to 37th in 2024 due to the conflicts in and around Israel.
