Economic History | Bulgaria | On July 5, 1999, the lev was redenominated, with BGL 1,000 replaced by one new lev (BGN). Thus BGN 1.00 equals DM 1.00. The Currency Board requires the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) to hold sufficient foreign currency reserves to cover all the levs in circulation including the lev reserves of the banking system; the BNB can only refinance commercial banks in the event of systemic risk to the banking system; and the government is limited in taking on new financial liabilities or providing sovereign guarantees. (references) |
Political Economy | BULGARIA | The BNB can only refinance commercial banks in the event of systemic risk to the banking system. (references) |
BULGARIA | Transfers exceeding BGN 20,000 must have the prior approval of the BNB. Foreigners are permitted to export as much currency over the foreign currency equivalent of BGN 20,000 as they have imported into Bulgaria without prior approval. (references) | |
Trade | Bulgaria | After Bulgaria experienced a severe financial crisis in 1996, BNB closed 18 of the weakest banks, but liquidation has moved slowly. (references) |
Bulgaria | The BNB regulates the banking system, but, under the Currency Board Arrangement, has no discretion in setting monetary or exchange rate policy. (references) | |
