Hungary, 2023
Geopolitical tensions continued to overshadow economic developments in 2023, with the gross domestic product falling by 0.9%. Inflationary pressures gradually eased, but the 17.6% annual increase in consumer prices led to a decline in real earnings and consumption, and negatively affected investment decisions. Despite the economic difficulties, employment has reached a record high. In 2023, the number of deaths and births continued to fall, in addition to the decrease in the number of women of childbearing age.
Snapshots, 2023 – Construction
Construction output in 2023 – reaching HUF 7387 billion at current price - following a two-year long growth, lagged behind the one year earlier level by 5.0% at comparative price.

The volumes of new contracts concluded in 2023 and that of end-of-year stock of contracts both lessened, the former by 11.2%, the latter by 23.5%.
