Hungary’s trade balance in euro terms strengthened markedly in June 2026, with the surplus widening to EUR 1,305.0 million from EUR 502.0 million in May 2026. The latest data, updated on 30 July 2026, show a robust month-on-month improvement in external trade conditions.
On a month-over-month basis, June’s result reflects a substantial acceleration in Hungary’s trade surplus compared with the previous month. While May had already recorded a positive balance, June’s figure suggests a significant shift in the country’s trade dynamics within just one month. This sharp increase in the surplus may indicate stronger export performance, weaker import demand, or a combination of both, though the data provided focus solely on the headline balance.
The comparison framework used for these figures evaluates each month against the preceding one, highlighting short-term momentum in Hungary’s external sector. With the surplus more than doubling from May to June, the trade balance data underline an improving backdrop for Hungary’s external accounts entering the second half of 2026.
