The desk views Hungary's recent economic data as a positive sign, albeit with caution regarding underlying risks. Per the full note from ing-think, March figures showed unexpected strength in both industrial and retail sectors, suggesting a potential rebound in economic momentum. However, the desk emphasizes that this improvement may be influenced by one-off factors, which could temper enthusiasm. Consensus targets for the HUF remain varied, reflecting differing views on sustainability of this momentum.
