The European Commission confirmed its earlier projection for Hungary’s GDP growth this year of 4% in its Summer Interim Forecast.

The EC put 2019 GDP growth at 3.2%, also confirming its forecast published in May.

The official government forecasts for GDP growth are 4.3% for 2018 and 3.8% for 2019.

The EC said “GDP growth remained steady at 1.2% quarter-on-quarter in the first quarter of 2018, supported mainly by domestic demand.

However, exports failed to keep pace with rising import demand.”
