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 since 2004, though it retains its own currency, the Hungarian Forint. The economy is heavily oriented toward manufacturing and exports, with automobiles, electronics, pharmaceuticals, and chemicals representing key industrial pillars. Services account for roughly 57% of GDP, while manufacturing and other industry contribute approximately 38% combined. Hungary has attracted significant foreign direct investment, particularly in electric vehicle battery production from Asian manufacturers. The country faces ongoing fiscal pressures, with a government deficit above 5% of GDP, and its economic trajectory is closely tied to demand from Germany and the broader euro area.
