The Hungarian Vehicle Importers Association (MGE) expects new auto sales to climb to 53,000 this year versus a previously forecast 58,000, association head Péter Erdélyi told Világgazdaság on Tuesday.
New auto sales in the first six months rose 7.3% to 23,112 compared to the same period in 2010.
The MGE had a more positive outlook when it projected more new cars sold in 2011 at the beginning of the year, Erdélyi said.
New auto sales came to 60,206 in 2009.
