Ákos Kozák, the director responsible for business relations of the Equilibrium Institute and co-founder of the non-profit organization, said that in the coming quarters, the index would probably produce roller-coaster movements; for now, in the first quarter, the mood among the businesses surveyed was more optimistic. 

Accordingly, the index stands at 61 points on a scale of 100. The financial situation sub-index stands at 74, the business sentiment sub-index at 62, and the willingness to invest sub-index at 49 points.
