Ungarn Zinssatz

Hungary’s central bank held its base rate steady at 6.5% in November 2024 for the second straight month as expected. Rates for collateralized loans and overnight deposits also remained unchanged at 7.5% and 5.5%, respectively. In October, Hungary's annual headline inflation rose to 3.2% from 3% in September, while core inflation eased to 4.5% from 4.8%. The central bank’s decision aimed to stabilize the forint, which saw sharp declines following Donald Trump's election win, triggering notable currency losses in emerging markets. The forint has dropped about 2.5% against the euro since October, nearing a two-year low, making it the weakest among European emerging-market currencies. Deputy Governor Barnabas Virag indicated last month that rates could remain unchanged for an extended period.
