An economic gap has developed in Hungary, this is what it looks like

Recent Eurostat data reveals significant disparities in economic performance across Hungarian regions over recent years. The drought and energy crisis impacted the economy, leading to a weaker quarter from July to September. Hungary's GDP in 2024 exceeded the 2020 level by 11.4%, slightly below the EU average of 11.8%. Poland led the Visegrad countries with a 16.2% increase, followed by Romania at 13.5%. Within Hungary, Pest County saw a 20.3% growth, while Budapest recorded a 17% increase. In contrast, other regions performed poorly, with the South Transdanubia region growing by only 3.8%, the South Great Plain by 3%, and North Hungary experiencing a decline of 1.2%.
