Bulgaria places international Eurobonds for the second time in 2025 for 3.2 billion euros

With record interest, Bulgaria's Ministry of Finance has successfully placed debt on international capital markets, the institution announced. Two tranches of bonds in euros were sold. The 10-year bonds were for 2 billion euros with an annual interest rate of 3.375 percent. The second tranche with a 20-year maturity is for 1.2 billion euros with an annual interest rate of 4.1%.

The total value of the submitted applications exceeded 13 billion euros, the Ministry of Finance announced. This is an oversubscription of more than 4 times.

Investor interest was extremely strong - the highest reached to date, and was catalyzed by the decision of the EU Council on the country's entry into the eurozone from January 1, 2026.

The taking of the debt is within the maximum amount set by the state budget, which for this year is 9.6 billion euros.
