Economic History | Bulgaria | Thanks to the CBA and its associated IMF program, inflation was cut from nearly 600 percent in 1997 to only 1 percent in 1998 and 6.2 percent in 1999. Official reserves rebounded from $400 million in January 1997 to $3,424 million at the end of 2000. Moody's Investors Service upgraded Bulgaria's credit rating to B2, while Standard and Poor's raised Bulgaria's long-term foreign currency credit rating to B+ with a positive outlook from B. Foreign investment, including participation by American investors, has also revived as macroeconomic stabilization and a friendlier business climate have taken hold. (references) |
Political Economy | BULGARIA | Bulgaria redenominated the currency on July 5, 1999, replacing 1000 old leva (BGL) with one new lev (BGN). Until January 1, 1999, the CBA fixed the exchange rate at 1000 old leva to one German mark. (references) |
BULGARIA | The CBA provides that the Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) must hold sufficient foreign currency reserves to cover all domestic currency (leva) in circulation, including the leva reserves of the banking system. (references) | |
