The Bulgarian National Bank (BNB) presents an official reference list of exchange rates, which covers multiple international monetary units and their ratio to the Bulgarian lev.

The document contains detailed information on exchange rates for over 30 currencies, with each presented through precise numerical values. These include world-famous currencies such as the US dollar and euro, as well as more exotic monetary units from various continents.

Particular attention is drawn to the position of the Russian ruble, for which the BNB officially reports that it temporarily suspends publishing the exchange rate due to the complex international financial situation. The last registered rate for the Russian currency was from March 1, 2022.

The table presents rates to Bulgarian lev for a unit or specific amount of foreign currency. For example, one US dollar equals 1.71504 leva, while the gold rate is calculated based on a troy ounce - 5656.28 leva.

Among the currencies with the most significant values are the US dollar, British pound, Japanese yen, and Chinese yuan. An interesting highlight are also the less familiar currencies such as the Indonesian rupiah, Philippine peso, and Malaysian ringgit.

An important clarification is that these rates are determined according to Article 12 of the Currency Act and are used for official legal purposes. They serve as an official reference point for financial institutions, banks, and citizens in international monetary operations.

The rates are regularly updated, reflecting the current market conditions and international financial trends. For precise calculations, consultation with a specific financial institution is recommended.

The document represents an extremely important tool for all those involved in international monetary transfers, investments, or foreign economic activities.
