"We have embarked on the path to an upgrade" – this is how analysts evaluate next year's budget

Analysts Trippon Mariann and Török Zoltán evaluated Hungary's 2027 budget, noting its realistic projections and detailed planning. They highlighted risks related to EU fines, energy prices, and government spending cuts. While the budget aims for a 4.9% deficit, they emphasized the need for strict adherence to these targets. Positive aspects include a shift towards fairer taxation and targeted support measures. However, concerns remain about special taxes and energy subsidies. The analysts believe the budget could positively influence credit ratings, although immediate upgrades are unlikely. Overall, the budget is seen as a step in the right direction for Hungary's economic stability.
