In 2022 gross wages are expected to rise by 14 percent – this means 8-9 percent higher real wages. The real value of old age pensions will increase by 6 percent and consumption will grow by 4.5 percent.
The investment level was up 8 percent in 2021 and will increase by 4 percent in 2022. In both 2021 and 2022 the inflation rate is around 5 percent. One euro will cost approximately 360 forints in 2022 and the interest rate can reach 4.5 percent by the autumn. //
