In the third quarter of 2025, Hungary's current account surplus expanded to EUR 0.93 billion, up from EUR 0.38 billion during the same period of the previous year, yet still falling short of the anticipated EUR 1 billion. The services account surplus increased to EUR 3.65 billion from EUR 3.20 billion in Q3 2024, indicating that export levels surpassed imports. Concurrently, the goods account deficit saw a significant reduction to EUR 1.01 billion, compared to EUR 1.25 billion the previous year. Additionally, the secondary income gap decreased to EUR 0.46 billion from EUR 0.51 billion year-on-year. On the other hand, the primary income deficit widened further to EUR 1.25 billion from EUR 1.06 billion, primarily due to a larger shortfall in investment income, which grew to EUR 2.26 billion from EUR 2.15 billion.
