Hungary, 1st semester of 2023 – disinflation started
The GDP volume lagged behind the same period of the previous year’s level by 1.7% in the 1st semester of 2023. Final consumption and gross accumulation both contributed to this trend, while the balance of the external trade significantly improved. Following the January inflation peak the growth rate of consumer prices lessened, consequently the decrease of real wages was more subdued, too. At the same time the setback in external trade turnover, typical for most EU countries, gradually slowed down during the 2nd quarter.
Hungary, 2022
The processes taken place in 2022 were mainly determined by the uncertain global environment due to the Russia-Ukraine war and the general and considerable price increases worldwide. Despite these challenges, the Hungarian economy's performance expanded by 4.6% year-on-year, above the EU average. Employment reached a new record high and average earnings rose significantly, but the impact of this was gradually eroded by surging inflation. Population decline continued at a lower pace than in the previous year.
