Hungary back in recession, War in Ukraine

The Q3 GDP data out of Central Europe this week continued a bleak run of activity data for the region, with Hungary’s economy significantly underperforming expectations.

Meanwhile, the US election next week could have pivotal implications for the war in Ukraine – a Trump victory could result in a reduced flow of financial assistance to Ukraine and a US push for a negotiated end to the war.
