Hungary’s growth streak continues but falls short of expectations
The Hungarian economy's growth remains on an upward trend but has underperformed versus market expectations, prompting cautious optimism among analysts. GDP expanded by just 0.4% in Q2 2026, falling short of the ING forecast of 1.2% and suggesting that the initial boost from the prior quarter may have been overstated. Per the full note, while Hungary's economy has now grown over five consecutive quarters, the lower-than-expected growth indicates potential hurdles ahead, particularly as global economic conditions remain uncertain.
