Summary:

Hungary’s 2007 Article IV Consultation reports that with fiscal consolidation on track for 2007 and 2008, short-term risks have receded, especially owing to the favorable international financial environment. Ensuring that the current economic slowdown does not translate into a prolonged period of low growth is important both for raising standards of living and for containing vulnerabilities. Putting the debt on a sustainable downward trend will also require a substantial decrease in the size of government expenditure in relation to GDP.
