Macro - Country Economic Forecasts - Hungary
We have cut our near-term GDP growth forecast for Hungary, given the economic fallout from the Russian invasion of Ukraine that will hamper the post-pandemic recovery. Notably, inflation will stay higher for longer, weighing on consumption, a major growth driver last year. In addition, heightened supply shortages will keep a lid on the industrial rebound, especially in the automotive sector. We now expect GDP growth of 4.6% in 2022, down from 5.4% last month. That said, our 2023 GDP growth forecast at 3.4% remains unchanged.
