Hungary’s consumer confidence improved in July 2026, with the Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) ticking up to 52.08, compared with 50.47 in June 2026. The month‑over‑month gain suggests a modest strengthening in household sentiment as the index moves further above the neutral 50-point line.
The latest reading, updated on 09 July 2026, indicates that Hungarian consumers are slightly more optimistic about current and near-term conditions than they were a month earlier. The July increase follows June’s improvement over May, underscoring a continuing upward trend when measured on a month‑over‑month basis, in line with the index’s methodology of comparing each month to the one immediately preceding it.
