The purchasing power of annual personal incomes in Hungary comes to the equivalent of 5,239 euros, or 38.4% of the European average, a survey by market research company GfK showed. This is a slight improvement from 37.7% of the European average last year. Out of 42 countries, Hungary is 31st on the list. Regional differences inside Hungary have diminished in the past year, but they are still large and people in the northwest of the country are still wealthier than people living in eastern Hungary.
The per capita purchasing power of residents in Budapest is 127.2% of the Hungarian average while that of people living in Szabolcs- Szatmár-Bereg county in the northeast is only 74.1%.
