The Bulgarian Stock Exchange (BSE) is observing the 25th anniversary of its main stock index, SOFIX. The index, which tracks the performance of the 15 most liquid companies on the BSE, was first introduced on October 20, 2000.
Over a quarter-century, SOFIX has increased in value more than tenfold. In 2025, it showed notable gains with nearly 14% growth during the second quarter. The index rose from 903 to 1025 points in that period and currently stands at 1075 points. This recent performance places Bulgaria among the top-performing markets in its region.
“The rise of SOFIX is a clear sign of the stability and good profitability of Bulgarian companies, their commitment to investors and the sustainable corporate culture they are building. This achievement is a result of the increasing liquidity and the overall growth of the capital market in Bulgaria in recent years,” said Assoc. Prof. Manyu Moravenov, executive director of the Bulgarian Stock Exchange.
