Assessment

model confidence: under Technical details

Read the full assessment

Hungary's TISZA government, led by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, has presented a 2027 budget targeting a 4.9% deficit, which is below consensus and has led to a significant strengthening of the forint. The government projects deficits of 4.9%, 4%, and 3.4% over the next three years, with a plan to achieve a sub-3% deficit by 2030. The credibility and implementation of this multi-year fiscal adjustment plan remain uncertain.
