Hungary Current Account Surplus Widens Sharply

Hungary’s current account surplus sharply widened to EUR 1.39 billion in the second quarter of 2025, from EUR 0.08 billion in the corresponding period of the previous year. The improvement was mainly due to a higher services surplus, which rose to EUR 2.84 billion from EUR 2.37 billion a year earlier. The goods account also recovered, posting a EUR 0.09 billion surplus compared with a EUR 0.54 billion deficit in the previous year. At the same time, secondary income rebounded to a EUR 0.20 billion surplus from a EUR 0.32 billion deficit. Meanwhile, the primary income deficit widened further to EUR 1.73 billion, from EUR 1.43 billion in the second quarter of 2024.
