H UNGARY E CONOMY - OVERVIEW Hungary has made the transition from a centrally planned to a market economy, with a per capita income nearly two-thirds that of the EU-25 average. The private sector accounts for more than 80% of GDP. Foreign ownership of and investment in Hungarian firms are widespread, with cumulative foreign direct investment totaling more than $60 billion since In 2007, Hungary eliminated a trade deficit that had persisted for several years. Inflation declined from 14% in 1998 to a low of 3.7% in 2006, but jumped to 7.8% in Unemployment has persisted above 6%. Germany is by far Hungary's largest economic partner. Policy challenges include cutting the public sector deficit to 4% of GDP by 2008, from about 6% in The government's austerity program of tax hikes and subsidy cuts has reduced Hungary's large budget deficit, but the reforms have dampened domestic consumption, slowing GDP growth to about 2% in The government plans to eventually lower its public sector deficit to below 3% of GDP to adopt the euro.

More Recent Economic Developments in Hungary The Hungarian central bank raised its main rate of interest by 3.0%, to 11.5%, as it attempted to stanch an investment outflow and give support to its forint currency. (Doubted to work) The European Central Bank is lending Hungary up to 5.0 billion euros ($6.4 billion) to help support liquidity "The government says that its financial system is in good shape, but we note that Hungary is very vulnerable in terms of large current account deficits and high external debt load,"... "If pressure continues, an IMF program is likely.“ – Brown Brothers Harriman Lars Christensen (Denmark's Danske Bank ) - There are clear similarities between Iceland and countries in Central and Eastern Europe, such as strong credit growth, property market bubbles, foreign currency lending. It's important to underline that the Icelandic crisis has to do with the collapse of the Icelandic banking sector. In contrast, the banking sector in Central and Eastern Europe is foreign- owned and that's positive.
