Note that yesterday Economy Minister Marton Nagy said he recommends the government take action on fuel prices, while the Economy Ministry said prices at the pump were up 11pc for petrol and 13pc for diesel compared to a year earlier, contributing 0.6-0.7ppts to headline inflation.
  • Hungary's average gross wages for businesses with at least 5 employees rose 14.1% y/y (Est: +14.3%) in February compared to +14.7% the month prior, according to the Central Statistical Office. The month-on-month figure was unchanged in February versus -7.6% in January. Unemployment rate data for March will cross tomorrow (Est: 4.6%; Prior: 4.6%).
  • Moody's Ratings has affirmed the "Baa3" local and foreign currency long-term issuer ratings of the city of Budapest with a stable outlook, according to its latest report.
