Yearly data from 1990 to 2023, from the World Bank.
Bulgaria's expense (current LCU) was 33.8 billion in 2023, the latest year in the World Bank's World Development Indicators. That is up 144.11% from 13.85 billion in 2013 (9.33% a year on average, compounded).
| Value | Year | |
|---|---|---|
| Latest | 33.8 billion | 2023 |
| Five years earlier | 18.57 billion | 2018 |
| Ten years earlier | 13.85 billion | 2013 |
| Highest | 33.85 billion | 2022 |
| Lowest | 12.42 million | 1990 |
| Average since 2014 | 22.04 billion | 2014–2023 |
| First recorded | 12.42 million | 1990 |
Over five years it is up 82.02% from 18.57 billion in 2018 (12.73% a year on average, compounded). Since 1990 it is up 272,032% from 12.42 million in 1990 (27.08% a year on average, compounded).
In 2023, Bulgaria's expense (current LCU) fell 0.1% on 2022 (from 33.85 billion to 33.8 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1993 to 2022), the average change was +39.8% and a typical year strayed about 111% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 0.4 standard deviations below that average, so it was an ordinary year: it sits within the range of normal year-to-year movement.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 612.2% in 1997 and the biggest yearly fall was 4.3% in 2010. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2014 to 2023 the straight-line trend is upward, about 2.18 billion a year. A straight line explains 86% of the movement over 10 observed years.
Worked out from the yearly values above. How the checks work: standard deviation, z-scores and straight-line trends.
In 2023, Bulgaria had the 62nd highest value of the 80 economies reporting that year. Higher is not always better: for some indicators the lowest value is the one to aim for. See the full ranking.
Expense is a decrease in net worth resulting from a transaction. This indicator is expressed in current prices, meaning no adjustment has been made to account for price changes over time. This series is expressed in local currency units.
Limitations: For most countries central government finance data have been consolidated into one account, but for others only budgetary central government accounts are available. Countries reporting budgetary data are noted in the country metadata. Because budgetary accounts may not include all central government units (such as social security funds), they usually provide an incomplete picture. In federal states the central government accounts provide an incomplete view of total public finance. Data on government revenue and expense are collected by the IMF through questionnaires to member countries and by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).
