Economic research institute Kopint-Tárki has lowered its forecast for 2021 GDP growth to 6.1% from 6.8% in a projection released in the fall, chief executive Éva Palócz said on Wednesday, according to a report by state news wire MTI.
Finance Minister Mihály Varga said last week that this year's GDP growth could reach 6-6.5%.
Kopint-Tárki puts average annual inflation at 5.5% this year, higher than the 5.1% forecast by the National Bank of Hungary (MNB).
