Analysis# Bulgaria Share of World GDP
Bulgaria's share of world GDP stands at 0.127% in 2026, representing a significant contraction from its 1987 peak of 0.367%. The country's economic weight relative to the global economy has declined 62.4% over the past 46 years, though it remains above the all-time low of 0.122% recorded in 2017. This long-term erosion reflects Bulgaria's diminished position in the post-Cold War global economy compared to its Soviet-era standing.
Recent data reveals stabilization rather than continued decline. After hitting bottom in 2017–2018, Bulgaria's share began a modest recovery, climbing to 0.130% by 2022 before settling at 0.127% through 2026. The projections suggest Bulgaria's global economic share will remain relatively flat in the near term, hovering around 0.127%, indicating the country has found an equilibrium point considerably below historical levels.
