FX.co ★ Hungary’s Trade Surplus More Than Doubles in February, Hitting €664.6 Million

Hungary’s trade balance strengthened sharply in February 2026, with the surplus widening to €664.6 million, more than double the previous month’s level. In January 2026, the surplus had stood at €292.0 million, making the latest data a notable month‑over‑month improvement.

The February reading, updated on 30 March 2026, highlights a significant shift in Hungary’s external position on a monthly basis. The month‑over‑month comparison shows that February’s trade surplus expanded substantially relative to January, while January itself had reflected a more modest change from the month before.

For market participants and policymakers, the stronger trade balance underscores an improved contribution from net exports early in 2026. The data will likely feed into updated assessments of Hungary’s growth prospects and external resilience as the year progresses.
