Macroeconomic analysts at Takarékbank and the Magyar Bankholding have downgraded their GDP forecast for 2021 to 6.9 percent from 8 percent and this year’s growth forecast to 6 percent from 7 percent, mainly due to component shortages, the financial institution said in an online press conference on Friday.
