“Inflation is high, but such a term – ‘galloping inflation’, in the economy does not exist”, commented to the Bulgarian media "Dnevnik" Lubomir Datsov, former Deputy Minister of Finance. "It can't be economic. It's a socio-political term to show that inflation is running wild like a horse," he added.
The National Statistical Institute does not use terms such as "galloping inflation" and "hyperinflation", which are dynamic and, in many cases, subjective concepts.
