Hungary’s Producer Price Index (PPI) moved back into negative territory in May 2026, registering a year-over-year decline of 0.7%, according to data updated on 30 June 2026. This marks a reversal from April 2026, when producer prices had recorded a 0.3% annual increase.
The comparison is made on a year-over-year basis, with the May figure measured against May a year earlier, and the April reading compared with the same month of the previous year. The shift from a modest rise in April to a decline in May suggests easing cost pressures at the producer level, which could, over time, feed through to consumer prices and influence monetary policy considerations.
