Hungary: Euro adoption plans hinge on fiscal path – Standard Chartered

Standard Chartered’s Saabir Salad analyzes Hungary’s fiscal outlook and its implications for Euro adoption and the Forint. The Tisza government’s 2027 budget and new medium-term fiscal plan, due this month, are seen as key tests of credibility. The bank now forecasts Hungary’s deficit at 7.5% of GDP in 2026, narrowing to about 5% in 2027 and below 3% by 2029–2030.
