  • In their latest inflation report published on June 24, the NBH reviewed its inflation forecast for 2021 to the upside.
  • In the past few weeks, the rise in political instability amid a series of legal disputes with the EU has been weighing on the HUF, which has been the worst performing currency in July among the CEEMEA World.
