Since the start of September, Bulgarian tourists have driven a notable surge in the demand for exotic currencies, largely due to planned trips to Asian destinations. The data indicates that interest in the Chinese yuan has skyrocketed, reaching 3.5 times the level recorded in early September 2024. The Philippine peso has also seen a marked rise, doubling in popularity over the same period, according to Tavex figures. Other currencies have recorded moderate growth: the Korean won is up by 70%, the Thai baht by 50%, and the Indonesian rupiah by 35%. Rising travel and interest in exotic locations naturally correspond with the increased demand for foreign currency.
