Hungary: rate cuts are in view

Stubbornly high inflation and concerns about a weaker exchange rate mean that Hungary’s central bank (MNB) will keep its powder dry in the next few months. But we think that inflation will ease over the first half of 2021, which should create scope for policymakers to reduce short-term interest rates.   WEBINAR INVITE: To mark the upcoming launch of The Long Run, our dedicated long-term service, we’re holding a special webinar on 11th February to discuss how we see economies and markets performing out to 2050. Complimentary registration here for either of two sessions.
