Hungary, quarters 1-3 of 2023 – On the path of disinflation
The GDP volume lagged behind the same period of the previous year’s level by 1.2% in the 1-3 quarters of 2023, however the fact that the 3rd quarter’s economic performance outperformed the previous quarter by 0.9% signals the end of recession. The setback of domestic consumption is the cause of the 1-3 quarters’ decrease, while the balance of the external trade improved significantly. The inflation growth rate continuously slowed down following its January peak, as a result real wages, after a year-long setback, started to grow once again in September.

Hungary, 2022
The processes taken place in 2022 were mainly determined by the uncertain global environment due to the Russia-Ukraine war and the general and considerable price increases worldwide. Despite these challenges, the Hungarian economy's performance expanded by 4.6% year-on-year, above the EU average. Employment reached a new record high and average earnings rose significantly, but the impact of this was gradually eroded by surging inflation. Population decline continued at a lower pace than in the previous year.
