The downward trend that characterized the expectations of large domestic companies in the past three quarters continued. The K&H large company growth index, which examines the expectations of Hungarian companies with a sales revenue of over two billion forints for the next one year, reached its lowest value so far in the third quarter, standing at -15 points.

“Even during the most critical period of the coronavirus epidemic, large domestic companies see the future more darkly. Exceeding the typical decrease so far, expectations have recently deteriorated to a large extent. Compared to the second quarter, the K&H large company growth index decreased by 12 points, which is the biggest drop in one quarter so far. The reason for this is that large companies see a gloomy picture of their own company’s prospects and the economy as a whole”
