Inflation in Hungary remained at 4.3 percent in October 😔

In October 2025, consumer prices in Hungary rose by 4.3% compared to the previous year, with inflation remaining stagnant. Despite government measures to curb inflation, challenges persist, particularly with core inflation rising to 4.2%. The margin freeze introduced in March 2025 has helped keep inflation down, but its long-term effects may lead to price increases once lifted. Energy costs rose significantly, and various services also saw price hikes. Analysts predict inflation may decrease slightly in the coming months, but the central bank's target remains elusive.
