About Bulgarian Lev and Israeli Shekel
Used in: Bulgaria
The Bulgarian lev ('lion') was introduced in 1880. After severe financial crisis in 1997, Bulgaria introduced a currency board pegging the lev first to the Deutschmark and then to the Euro. Bulgaria joined the EU in 2007.
BGN is pegged to EUR at exactly 1.95583 since 1999, when Bulgaria adopted the Euro as the peg anchor following the DEM. Bulgaria is in the ERM II and is working toward full Euro adoption.
Used in: Israel, Palestinian Territories
The new Israeli shekel (NIS) was introduced in 1985, replacing the hyperinflated old shekel at 1000:1. Israel's economy has transformed into a high-tech hub — 'Start-Up Nation' — with significant tech export revenues supporting the shekel.
Israel has one of the highest concentrations of tech startups per capita in the world. ILS is influenced by tech sector performance, US relations, and geopolitical events in the Middle East region.

Converting Bulgarian Lev to Israeli Shekel — Tips
Forex market liquidity peaks between 3–4 PM GMT (London–New York overlap). Converting during this window typically gives tighter spreads. Avoid weekends — markets are closed and Monday opening rates can gap significantly.
Tuesdays–Thursdays generally show the most stable rates. Monday mornings can be volatile as markets digest weekend news. Friday afternoons often see positioning ahead of weekend closures.
If you need to convert a large amount, monitor the rate and set an alert for your target. Rates can vary 1–3% within a month — on $10,000 that's $100–300 difference.
About the BGN/ILS Exchange Rate
The Bulgarian Lev is pegged to the EUR since 1999, so its movement against the Israeli Shekel reflects the EUR/ILS rate rather than independent monetary policy. The BGN/ILS rate will be more stable than a pure float but can still move as EUR fluctuates.
