Risks and challenges to international and Hungarian econo-my in the middle of the decade

Abstract

In 2015, economic growth in Hungary despite of some slowdown remained still dynamic, whilst global growth continued to be slow with new short- and medium term downside risks. The study gives an overview of the international economic and market trends having influence on economic development in Hungary with a special focus on events and problems in the euro area and in the Central-East-European region. It also addresses the macroeconomic and financial processes in Hungary in the course of the last year.
