(ANSA) - BELGRADE, 10 OTT - The International Monetary Fund
(IMF) has raised its forecast for the growth of gross domestic
product in Hungary to 4% in 2018, up from the previous 3.8%
estimated in spring.
According to the newest IMF 'World Economic Outlook' released
on Tuesday, the economic growth in Hungary will decelerate in
2019, when the GDP will grow by 3.3%.
IMF estimates show that Hungary is one of the strongest
growing economies in the so-called 'Emerging and Developing
Europe' area. In 2018, only Poland (4.4%) is forecasted to do
better, followed by Romania, Serbia and Hungary (4%), Bulgaria
(3.6%) and Croatia (2.8%).
The IMF forecast is still lower than the 4.3% growth
estimated by the government, local media reported. (ANSA).
