Hungary c/a surplus reaches EUR 317m in May
Budapest, July 14 (MTI) – Hungary’s current-account surplus reached 317 million euros in May, data published by the National Bank of Hungary on Monday show.
The release shows the c/a surplus was 519 million euros in April.
The capital account surplus reached 430 million euros in May. The combined surpluses of the current and capital accounts, or Hungary’s net external financing capacity, was 747 million euros.
