HUNGARY: MNI NBH Review – September 2024

HUNGARY
  • The National Bank of Hungary cut its base rate by 25bps to 6.50%, in-line with unanimous consensus.
  • The policy statement offered few surprises, while Deputy Governor Virag’s press conference was interpreted as dovish given that he signalled rate cuts would be considered at each meeting through year-end.
  • Among sell-side, the broad consensus is still that the central bank will deliver one additional 25bp cut in 2024, most likely in December when an updated economic forecast will be provided.
