Industry
Statistics on industry comprises three sections (mining and quarrying, manufacturing, energy industry). Extraction of natural minerals, transformation of basic materials and products into new products, electricity, gas, steam, hot water supply are defined as industrial activities. Beside industry significantly influencing economic performance, the division group also has an important role in employment. Industrial statistics offers information – beside production data – about sales directions (domestic and export sales) as well as about orders relating to industrial products and services and their change over time.

Hungary 1st quarter of 2025
The performance of the Hungarian economy in the 1st quarter of 2025 was identical with the same period of the previous year’s level. Increasing performance in the service sector as well as the growth in consumption had a positive impact on the GDP. The continuing setback of the industry and construction, a subdued investment activity, the deterioration in the balance of the external trade counterbalanced this trend. Regarding the labour market, employment rate – considering the 1st quarters’ values – was the highest ever, while the unemployment rate lessened.
