What the numbers say
In 2025, Bulgaria's households and NPISHs Final consumption expenditure, PPP (constant 2021 international $) rose 67.3% on 2024 (from 122.79 billion to 205.47 billion).
Across the 30 yearly changes before that (1995 to 2024), the average change was +3.6% and a typical year strayed about 8.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 7.5 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.
On record, the biggest yearly rise was 67.3% in 2025 and the biggest yearly fall was 32.3% in 1996. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.
From 2016 to 2025 the straight-line trend is upward, about 8.69 billion a year. A straight line explains 59% of the movement over 10 observed years.

What this measures
This indicator provides values for final consumption expenditure expressed in constant international dollars, converted by purchasing power parities (PPPs). PPPs account for the different price levels across countries and thus PPP-based comparisons of economic output are more appropriate for comparing the output of economies and the average material well-being of their inhabitants than exchange-rate based comparisons. Households and NPISHs final consumption expenditure includes expenditure on goods and services by the Household and NPISH sector for the direct satisfaction of human needs or wants, whether individual or collective. This indicator is expressed in constant prices, meaning the series has been adjusted to account for price changes over time. The reference year for this adjustment is 2021. The PPP conversion factor is a currency conversion factor and a spatial price deflator. PPPs convert different currencies to a common currency and, in the process of conversion, equalize their purchasing power by eliminating the differences in price levels between countries, thereby allowing volume or output comparisons of GDP and its expenditure components.
Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a gap-filled total.
