The surplus of goods and services reached EUR 2.158 bln, practically level with the surplus in Q1 2017. The capital account stood at EUR 1.121 bln, including EUR 1.113 bln of transfers from the European Union, nearly quadruple the EUR 298 mln in the base period.
Hungaryʼs net external financing capacity – the combined surpluses of the current and capital accounts – thus came to EUR 2.148 bln for the first quarter, up a little more than two-thirds from the corresponding period a year earlier.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
