The Institute for Market Economy showed the average gross monthly salary of the persons employed in the private and public sector in the 265 municipalities in the country.
The highest average gross monthly salary of employed persons in Bulgaria for 2022 is in the municipality of Chelopech (BGN 3,398). The municipality of Chelopech is not only the smallest municipality in the Sofia region, but also the smallest municipality by area in Bulgaria. It is also one of the few Bulgarian municipalities that consists of only one settlement
In second place is the average salary in the municipality of Kozloduy (BGN 2,949), and in third place is this year’s surprise – the municipality of Knezha (BGN 2,813). The first three places are occupied by municipalities in which leading companies from the mining industry, energy, agriculture and the processing of oil crops are located. In fourth position is the Municipality of Stolichna (BGN 2,475), followed by the municipalities of Radnevo (BGN 2,450), Pirdop (BGN 2,440) and Galabovo (BGN 2,260). The top 10 is completed by the municipalities of Devnya (BGN 2,156), Panagyurishte (BGN 2,050) and Bozhurishte (BGN 1,925).
For another year, it is noticeable that the highest average salaries are in small municipalities, on whose territory large companies operate, which form a significant part of the labor income in the area. The top 10 is dominated by the municipalities from the Central Highlands, which have a strong mining and related processing industry, as well as the municipalities that are home to the largest energy companies in the country. Interesting is the breakthrough in the top 10 of the municipality of Knezha, where there is a highly developed grain production, and where the largest producer of sunflower oil in the country is based – economic activities that report very strong financial results in 2022.
