Recital (2) · ECB/2025/44

(2)Article 48.1 of the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank (hereinafter the ‘Statute of the ESCB’) provides that the national central bank (NCB) of a Member State whose derogation has been abrogated must pay up its subscribed share of the capital of the European Central Bank (ECB) to the same extent as the NCBs of the other Member States whose currency is the euro. The NCBs of the existing Member States whose currency is the euro have paid up their shares in the ECB’s subscribed capital in full^note. The weighting of Българска народна банка (Bulgarian National Bank (BNB)) in the ECB’s capital key is 0,9783 %, pursuant to Article 2 of Decision (EU) 2023/2811 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2023/31)^note. BNB has already paid up part of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital, pursuant to Article 1 of Decision (EU) 2023/2816 of the European Central Bank (ECB/2023/36)^note. The outstanding amount is therefore EUR 101929755,00 which results from multiplying the ECB’s subscribed capital (EUR 10825007069,61) by the capital key weighting of BNB (0,9783 %), minus the part of its share in the ECB’s subscribed capital that has already been paid up.
