MNB: sustainable growth rate of the economy can be around 2.5 percent

The growth rate of the Hungarian economy will be around 2.5 percent, which means an annual 1 percent catch-up rate – Virág Barnabás, director of the National Bank of Hungary (MNB), after the Central Bank's growth report was published at a press conference on Wednesday in Budapest.

The investment rate in Hungary is around 25 percent. An up to 3.5-4 percent growth potential can also be reached – Virág Barnabás told, adding that a further increase in the investment rate, may be supported by the long-term improvement in profitability prospects. (MTI)
