FX.co ★ Hungary Producer Inflation Hits 11-Month Low

In August 2025, Hungary's annual producer inflation rate declined to 2.3%, the lowest level observed since September 2024, down from 4.5% recorded in July. This deceleration was predominantly attributed to reduced price increases within the mining and quarrying sectors, which saw a growth rate of 1.0% compared to 4.7% in July, as well as the manufacturing sector, which experienced a rise of 2.3% against 3.0% previously. Furthermore, expenses for electricity, gas, steam, and air-conditioning supply saw a downturn, registering a decrease of 1.9% as opposed to a 3.6% increase earlier. Prices also moderated in both domestic sales, decreasing to 0.9% from 1.6%, and non-domestic sales, dropping to 3.0% from 5.9%. Conversely, costs for water collection, treatment, and supply edged up to 3.7% from 3.2%. On a month-to-month basis, producer prices fell by 0.8% in August following a period of stability in the prior month.
