Latest Updates

Hungary’s current account surplus widened to EUR 0.93 billion in the third quarter of 2025 from EUR 0.38 billion in the same period last year, but below market expectations of EUR 1 billion. The services account surplus increased to EUR 3.65 billion from EUR 3.20 billion in Q3 2024, reflecting higher exports than imports. At the same time, the goods account deficit fell to EUR 1.01 billion from EUR 1.25 billion, while the secondary income gap decreased to EUR 0.46 billion from EUR 0.51 billion a year earlier. Meanwhile, the primary income deficit widened further to EUR 1.25 billion from EUR 1.06 billion, largely driven by a larger investment income shortfall, which rose to EUR 2.26 billion from EUR 2.15 billion.
