It outlines the conceptual framework central banks must adopt in the face of systemic uncertainty and evaluates Bulgaria’s foreign exchange reserve strategy, investment governance, and institutional preparedness. The analysis argues that euro adoption is both a stabilizing anchor and a strategic necessity for Bulgaria amid intensifying geopolitical and financial fragmentation.
