Women, pensioners, and people with primary education feel the inflation most.
Only one in seven Hungarians (14%) said they spent the same as before. The others had, at least partially, to give up something because of the rising prices.
For the time being, 41% of the population has only had to cut down on "luxury" expenses, giving up on entertainment and more expensive services, such as beauticians, hairdressers, gyms, and more expensive food.
Another 45%, on the other hand, were forced to cut back even more; they are already forced to save on basic food and household items, such as cleaning and hygiene products.
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.
