Hungary’s economy strongly focused on the capital

37% of gross domestic product (GDP) was concentrated in Budapest and 11% in Pest County, and the rest of the counties accounted for 1–6% each of Hungary’s economic performance in 2020. The disparities in the level of development within the country decreased somewhat between 2010 and 2020 but remained significant. The value of GDP per inhabitant was outstandingly high in the capital, over twice as high as the domestic average, while it did not reach even the half of the national average in Nógrád County, at the bottom of the regional rankings.

Where are white and where are red wine grapes produced?

The latest data on vineyards can be viewed in our interactive mapping display application (TIMEA). Vineyards are the most densely located in certain landscapes of the Northern Mountains and in Kiskunság (Little Cumania) according to geographical grid data in 2020. Large quantities of white wine grapes are produced in the former area, while red wine grapes can be found in several of our wine-growing areas.

Above average housing growth in five counties and Budapest

On 1 January 2021, Hungary's housing stock consisted of 4 million 501 thousand dwellings, which increased by almost 27 thousand in 2020 as the balance of dwellings built and ceased. Budapest, Pest and Győr-Moson-Sopron, which have a significant share of the real estate market, continued to contribute the most to the accelerating growth since 2016. Housing density was further reduced by the growing housing stock and the declining population, especially in Budapest.
