- Documents issued earlier stay in leva — they are not reissued.

## Key facts
- **Since:** 1 Jan 2026
- **Rate:** BGN 1.95583
- **Old documents:** stay in BGN

Since 1 January 2026 the euro is Bulgaria's official currency and new invoices are issued in euro. The fixed rate is €1 = BGN 1.95583. Documents issued before that stay in leva and are not reissued.

## What changed on invoices?

Amounts on new documents are in euro. Numbering **does not restart** — you continue the series as before. Mandatory dual price display (leva and euro) continues until 8 August 2026.

## What happens to old documents?

Nothing. Invoices and notes issued in leva remain valid in leva. A credit note against an old invoice follows that invoice's amounts — check the specific case with your accountant.

## How do I convert price lists?

Divide the BGN price by 1.95583 and round to the cent. In ood.bg a bulk BGN → EUR conversion updates the whole catalogue, and EUR is the default currency since 1 Jan 2026. See [goods and prices](https://ood.bg/en/features#goods).

## What should a two-currency offer say?

Give the euro amount as the main one and the leva amount for information, with the rate. Example: “€1,180.00 (BGN 2,307.88 at 1.95583)”.

For the switch, see [integrations and import](https://ood.bg/en/integrations) or [plan prices](https://ood.bg/en/pricing).
