EIU forecasts Hungary's GDP growth to slow to 3.2% in 2005

The Hungarian economy is expected to grow by around 3.2% in 2005 and by 3.8% in 2006, slowed down by easing industrial output and export growth, according to the European Intelligence Unit's (EIU) latest Global Forecast.

The weakness of the eurozone is partly the cause for the sluggish performance of the Hungarian economy, the EIU noted. "Hungary's foreign balance is set to again become a net drag on overall growth throughout the forecast period. This will certainly be the case next year, when a boom in private consumption will be part of a general rebound in domestic demand brought on by election-year spending, with negative consequences for the external balance," the report added.

The EIU forecasts economic growth in central and eastern Europe as a whole (Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia) to fall from last year's 4.8% to 4.1% in 2005, with growth slowing further to 3.9% by 2009. Meanwhile, inflation in the region is expected to decline to 2.7% in 2005 after rising to 4.2% last year from to 2.1% in 2003.
