However, the subdued expectations are only characteristic of firms with sales revenue below HUF 300m, as companies with revenues above this level are positive about the year ahead. As regards the sector as a whole, expectations about economic policy and customer relations are improving, but this is offset by an expected rise in corporate lending rates. “For two years now the sentiment index has thus remained in the negative”, told Ildikó Oraveczné Németh, head of retail and SME segment marketing at K&H. //
