The government's new economic action plan could produce "fantastic results" in 2025, if Hungary follows through with its policy of economic neutrality, Prime Minister Viktor Orban said in a weekly interview with public radio on Friday.
The National Bank of Hungary revealed the results of its inaugural survey on Hungarians' financial health.
August's 3.4pc CPI was in line with the National Bank of Hungary's expectations, and the central bank sees inflation falling to 3.1pc in September, Andras Balatoni, an NBH director said.
The MNB expects Hungary’s economy to grow by just 1-1.8% this year, a sharp revision from the 2-3% forecast made three months ago, according to preliminary data from the quarterly inflation report to be released.
