Hungary: GDP growing 4.4% in first quarter 2018
Statistical Office, domestic demand main driver
05 June, 16:45ING analysts, in a statement on Hungary released today, noted that the strong increase in private consumption is mainly due to "the significant pickup in the labour market and the constantly increasing wage bill, combined with a high level of propensity to consume." "We expect economic activity to slow down to 4.0% YoY growth in 2Q18 but don't expect significant changes in the structure as domestic demand will continue to be the main driver," ING added.
