The Global Indicators used to evaluate and access – the Economic & Financial Performance of a Country – present and future – these indicators continue TRENDING – to the negative, that give clear indication, that the Hungarian Economy – is in Trouble.
The Finance Minister of Hungary – Mihaly Varga – continues, through means that are driven by Falseneess using Propaganda, to “Paint” pictures – suggesting the Economy of Hungary – is performing creditably, in these -CHALLENGING times.
Who are these (3) three major credit rating agencies – Finance Minister – Varga – you “claim” – singing praise(s) of the Hungarian Economy ???
Are they :
(1) – Standard & Poors?
(2) – Moodys Corporation ?
(3) – Fitch Ratings ?
FACT – these are the (3) three – Globally respected – Credit Rating Agencies.
Debt – Government Debt – continues to grow – in Hungary.
Income generation – to SERVICE debt – mass challenge to Hungary.
Maintaining a stable – Economic & Financial Economy – just by “putting on hold” – major projects – just a “Band Aid” quick fix measure – that long term – DOES not assist in “Aged” accumulated Debt Retirement.
Will the Hungarian Government – need – Internationally to “source out” – if it can BORROW – further – funds ?
This would be – of course – another DEBT – on the citizens of Hungary.
Income Generation – the ability to service repay – retire Debt – and NOT – borrow funds – NOT – grow Government Debt – to maintain a Stability within an Economy – that is in TROUBLE.
In the simplists of Economic & Finacial Management commentary – this is – the Challenge Hungary – is Faced.
The indicators – Globally used to evaluate & access the performance of a countrys Economic & Financial – current position and future – these Globally Respected Indicators – continue to TREND – in the reverse Negative direction, that highlight – that the Hungarian Economy – is in TROUBLE.
