Hungary: 2025 Article IV Consultation-Press Release; Staff Report; and Statement by the Executive Director for Hungary
August 29, 2025
Summary
Hungary’s rebound has stalled. A nascent recovery in early 2024 lost
momentum in the second half of the year and output contracted in Q1:2025. Inflation
re-accelerated in Q4:2024 and remains above the 1 percent tolerance band of the 3
percent target. These developments emerged against an already disappointing postpandemic
recovery and long-standing productivity impediments.
