Why do we need to calculate the HVG Top 500 company ranking with six types of euro and three types of dollar exchange rates?

The fluctuation of the Hungarian forint significantly impacts the rankings of major companies. A stronger forint complicates matters for exporters, as they receive fewer forints for the same product sold in euros or dollars. Additionally, the exchange rate changes can distort growth data for companies that operate in Hungary but maintain their financial records in foreign currencies. This aspect was highlighted in the summer Top 50 ranking of the largest Hungarian companies for 2025, emphasizing the influence of currency fluctuations on corporate performance.
