The first reading of the data, published on Jan. 10, showed a surplus of EUR 81 million, suggesting an end to the streak of trade deficits since July, outliers in an export-driven economy such as Hungary's.
But the second reading shows a deficit of EUR 76 mln, the balance of exports of EUR 11.157 billion and imports of EUR 11.233 bln. Export growth of 8.2% was outpaced by import growth of 15.7% during the month.
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.
We would like to offer that same opportunity to our readers. We would like to invite you to help us deliver the quality business journalism you require. Hit our Support the BBJ button and you can choose the how much and how often you send us your contributions.
