WOOD Flash – Hungary macro: tough 2020E, attractive 2021E

Hungary has opted to restrict international travel, again, as of 1 September. This announcement reinforces the case for a downgrade in the GDP outlook for 2020/2021E, signalled already by the soft sentiment indices in recent months. Hungary should perform in line with its peers, in our view, notwithstanding a very accommodating monetary strategy. The ongoing COVID-19 complications suggest that it will not be able to recover the lost ground before 2022E.
