Effective January 12, 2026, the Bank of Russia will remove the Bulgarian national currency from the list of foreign currencies whose official exchange rates against the ruble are set by the Bank of Russia. This is due to the introduction of the euro as Bulgaria's national currency on January 1, 2026, and the withdrawal of the Bulgarian lev from circulation.
