Bulgaria
On 8 July 2025, the Council granted final approval to Bulgaria's adoption of the euro on 1 January 2026 by unanimously adopting the final three legal acts. This completes the process for Bulgaria to become the 21st member of the euro area.[3] The documents were signed by Stephanie Lose on behalf of the Danish Presidency of the Council of the EU in the presence of Temenuzhka Petkova, Valdis Dombrovskis, Paschal Donohoe, and Luis de Guindos.
