The Hungarian economy – high pressure, high risk?

Date: 18 April 2024 – 9:30
Venue: Raiffeisen Bank Offices, 1133 Budapest, Váci út 116-118. (Agora irodaház, Tower 2)
Guest Speaker: Zoltán Török, Head of Research at Raiffeisen Bank
The energy crisis is over – Hungary’s external account got dramatically improved last year. Public budget deficit increased though last year, and fiscal consolidation is getting an increasingly challenging task for the government. EU funds got partially released – but the rest of the money is still frozen. After a recession in 2023, the economy is set to recover, but the government’s plans are unlikely to come true. What are the factors limiting economic growth? What is the “high pressure economy” the government talks about? What is the outlook for the inerest rate and the HUF?
