OECD expects inflation in Bulgaria to slow from 9.5% in 2023 to 3.0% in 2024

However, high wage growth is an obstacle to a faster reduction in inflation, the OECD notes. The ongoing political uncertainty puts the country's planned reforms and investments at risk, OECD further said. Difficulties and delays in implementing the reforms necessary to access EU funds risk reducing the amount of EU funding and additional investment, warns OECD.
