After a challenging June, Hungary's manufacturing sector has shown signs of renewed strength as the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for July 2025 rises to 50.7. This improvement marks a significant uptick from the 48.9 recorded in June, according to the latest data released on 01 August 2025.
The rebound in Hungary’s PMI to above the 50.0 threshold, which separates expansion from contraction, indicates a return to growth for the manufacturing industry. This uptick reflects an increase in production activities and new orders that suggest renewed optimism in the sector and point towards a period of stabilization and potential recovery.
Industry experts attribute this positive momentum to improved domestic demand and easing supply chain disruptions, allowing manufacturers to ramp up production after recent setbacks. As Hungary navigates the complexities of the global economy, sustaining this growth trajectory will be key to bolstering the nation's economic resilience. The manufacturing sector's recovery is a promising sign of potential economic expansion in the coming months.
