Hungary

Visão geral da economia e do setor

Hungary is an upper-middle-income, open economy in Central Europe and a member of the European Union and OECD, with a nominal GDP of approximately USD 223 billion in 2024. The economy is heavily oriented toward manufacturing and exports, with machinery and equipment accounting for over half of merchandise exports; key trading partners are primarily other EU member states, especially Germany. Core industries include automotive manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, electronics, food processing, energy (oil and gas), chemicals, and financial services. The Budapest Stock Exchange is the third-largest in Central and Eastern Europe by market capitalisation, dominated by a handful of large-cap names in banking, energy, and pharmaceuticals. Hungary attracts significant foreign direct investment owing to its EU membership, skilled labour force, and strategic location in the heart of Europe.
