The productivity of local SMEs grew about 30% between 2013 and 2018, well over the 9% improvement rate for the economy as a whole in 2013-2019, the MNBʼs Productivity Report shows. SMEsʼ productivity rate is still only about half of that at big companies.

Productivity in Hungary stands at about 72% of the European average, but productivity for SMEs alone is 47% of the EU average.

In addition to labor productivity, the annual report examines the impact of innovation, digitalization and ecology on overall productivity.
