Hungary posts EUR 496 m trade surplus in November

82% of #exports and 75% of #imports were traded with other #European #Union member #states #Hungary #trade #economy #statistics

Hungary posted a 496 million euro trade surplus in November, down by 186 million from the same month a year earlier, the Central Statistical Office (KSH) said in a first reading of data on Wednesday.

Exports grew by an annual 4.7 percent to 9.484 billion euros, while imports increased by 7.3 percent to 8.988 billion.

Fully 82 percent of exports and 75 percent of imports were traded with other European Union member states.

In January-November, exports grew by an annual 4.5 percent to 97.400 billion euros and imports rose by 7 percent to 91.740 billion.

The trade surplus for the period stood at 5.660 billion euros, narrowing by 1.846 billion euros from the same period a year earlier.

Dávid Németh of K and H Bank said import growth in 2018 was likely to exceed exports with the surplus of the foreign trade balance further declining in 2019. Strong domestic consumption will be combined with a slowdown in international economic activity with the concomitant lower export demand, he said.

Gergely Suppán of Takarékbank said he expected last year’s foreign trade surplus to drop by around 1.9 billion euros to 6.2 billion, down from 8,778 billion euros a year earlier.

In 2019, however, slowing consumer and investment dynamics may weigh on import growth, while new industrial capacities could help to fuel export growth.

The foreign trade balance may improve thanks to better terms of trade, he said.
