Bulgaria will continue its policy of exempting VAT on bread for 2023, resulting in a 17-20% reduction in bread prices. The bread market remains stable with no price changes, as large retail chains control 85% of the market. Only a few bread producers, making up 2-3%. are still adjusting their assembly lines to the new conditions. No quality complaints have been reported, and there's no immediate risk of bread producers withdrawing from the market.
