Analysts at Morgan Stanley revised their expectation for the base rate at the end of Q3 upwards to 10% from their earlier 8.9% estimate.
The analysts do not rule out MNB ending its tightening cycle in September if inflation stabilizes, but they still think it is highly probable that there will be a 25 bp base rate hike in October, meaning the base rate could peak at 10.25% in Q4.
Analysts at Capital Economics said the Hungarian central bank could continue to tighten its monetary policy aggressively and could raise the base rate to 10.5% by the end of the year. Previously Capital Economics expected the base rate to peak at 8.2% in 2022.
