No Clear Consensus Over Size of February Rate Cut

HUNGARY
  • HSBC expect the NBH to reverse to 100bp cuts in February and March. In total they see rates falling by 525bp in 2024 to 5.5%, of which 450bp will be in H1 2024.
  • SocGen note that due to the sensitivity of the NBH’s monetary policy to “market sentiment”, i.e. to developments on the FX market, they believe the bank will deliver only a 75bp cut at the next meeting. Nevertheless, a HUF rally just before the meeting would probably allow the monetary council to deliver a larger 100bp cut. For the time being, they expect the cut to take place in March.
  • UniCredit expect the central bank to cut policy rates by 100bp, although add that a 75bp cut has almost equal probability. They say a 100bp cut is more likely as the window of opportunity for the NBH to cut at a faster pace is narrowing due to base effects and large fee increases by service providers in March and April (especially in telecoms and finance).
  • ING see the NBH cutting the base rate by 100bps as they believe that the majority of the Monetary Council are likely to assess the situation of the HUF on a relative basis and conclude that there is somewhat less pressure on the currency than at the January rate-setting meeting.
