IMF TERMS HUNGARY OUTLOOK “FAVOURABLE” BUT “SUBJECT TO RISKS”

International Monetary Fund (IMF) staff acknowledged Hungary’s “high economic growth” over the past several years and said the medium-term outlook for the country “remains favourable but is subject to risks” in a concluding statement issued after regular Article IV consultations. Risks will be mitigated by the improved current account and international investment position over the past years as well as by “the enhanced market sentiment towards Hungary”, the staff said.
