FX.co ★ Hungary Q4 GDP Growth Strongest in Six Quarters

Hungary's gross domestic product (GDP) experienced a 0.7% year-on-year increase in the fourth quarter of 2025, according to preliminary estimates. This growth, while slightly below the market's anticipated 0.8% rise, surpassed the 0.6% growth recorded in the previous quarter. The latest data represents the most robust growth since the second quarter of 2024, driven largely by the contributions of the services sector—especially in financial services, insurance, and trade—alongside notable performance from the construction industry. Conversely, a downturn in the industrial sector exerted the greatest negative impact on overall economic expansion. Seasonally adjusted figures show that, on a quarterly basis, the economy grew by 0.2% in Q4 2025, following a stagnant performance in the prior quarter.
