FX.co ★ Hungary Industrial Output Growth Accelerates in August

Hungary’s industrial production rose by 8.7% year-on-year in August 2026, accelerating from a 4.7% increase in July. Growth was primarily driven by the country’s two largest manufacturing branches: vehicle production and the manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products. In contrast, output declined in most other manufacturing segments, including electrical equipment and food, beverage and tobacco production. On a seasonally and working-day adjusted basis, industrial output increased by 1.0% month-on-month in August, following a 1.8% rise in the previous month. Over the period from January to August, industrial activity was 3.4% higher than in the same period a year earlier.
