EME Macro/Strategy: Hungary – heading into a brighter 2024E

The economy has climbed out of the recession this year, on the back of a modest 0.6% expansion in the first three quarters, which fell short of the MNB’s expectations, but was a slightly better outcome, versus our bleak forecast of a 1% contraction. That said, the outlook for next year is brighter, with a backdrop more conducive for consumption, and further monetary easing allowed by receding inflation. Hence, we see growth picking up to 2.6% next year, with some downside risks arising from stagnancy in the Eurozone and/or if the Fed and the ECB end up cutting less than we expect.
