The forecast of GKI Economic Research Co. for 2012

in Economic growth, Exports, Investment , Publications, Free publications

The Hungarian economy has been the weakest for years in the region, and it fell short of its own capabilities. Now this is accompanied by a credibility crisis (perceived in the political, economic and business spheres as well). Although the growth was slightly faster than the EU average in 2011, it was lower than the regional one.
