The figures are based on year-over-year comparisons, with the “actual” rate reflecting the change in August 2026 versus August 2025, and the “previous” rate showing July 2026 performance against July 2025. The jump from 4.7% to 8.7% suggests a strengthening momentum in Hungary’s industrial activity as the third quarter progresses, underscoring a more upbeat backdrop for the country’s manufacturing and production base.
