Bulgaria’s National Statistical Institute (
NSI) has found an increase in consumer confidence in April 2021. The total
consumer confidence index was up by 2.7 percentage points compared with January, the
NSI said on May 7.
In June 2020, the Covid-19 crisis and the State of Emergency declared in March last year sent consumer confidence in
Bulgaria
plummeting, according to the
NSI poll at the time. Since then, the surveys showed a slow recovery in consumer confidence, which is yet to reach pre-coronavirus levels.
The
NSI said that its poll had found that in April 2021, consumer confidence increased among both urban and rural residents, by 2.4 and 2.7 percentage points, respectively.
