Investment sentinent declines

Less than 55% of SMEs in Hungary are planning to make investments in the next twelve months, down 5 percentage points from the previous quarter to the lowest in six years, a survey carried out by K&H Bank in September shows.

K&H polled 700 businesses in the survey about their investment expectations. About 57% of agricultural businesses plan investments in the next twelve months, the largest portion of the SMEs polled. Most investments concern IT developments, but their number also dropped 5 percentage points since the previous quarter.
