      <title>Encouraging signs of a lasting recovery</title>

      <title>Investment in Hungary gathered steam in 2013</title>
      <description><![CDATA[As far as investment in Hungary is concerned, post-crisis years had been characterized by diminishing investment volume.

      <title>Number of people in employment exceeds 4.1 million in Hungary</title>
      <description><![CDATA[According to the flash report of the Hungarian Central Statistical Office (KSH), positive employment trends are continuing. In the period February-April 2014, the number of those aged 15-74 years in employment increased by 238 thousand, from 3 million 869 thousand one year ago to 4 million 107 thousand. In this period, the number of those in employment was 375 thousand more in comparison to the corresponding period of 2010. Although part of this growth is attributable to the effect of public work programmes and migration, thanks to the Government’s successful employment stimulus schemes, such as the First Job Guarantee Programme, housing subsidy or the programme supporting the creation of SME jobs, the private sector’s share of employment growth is increasing. ]]></description>

      <title>The volume of retail sales on the rise for the ninth consecutive month</title>
      <description><![CDATA[Following the eight-year record high registered in February, retail sales were record-breaking again, gaining 8.5 percent in March. This figure is indicating steady and continuous improvement of domestic consumption. The latest data has been the result of lower utility costs, family tax allowance, record-high increase in employment, higher wages in real terms and improving consumer sentiment. As cash machines have recently been connected on-line to the tax authority, it also created more transparency in the economy and thus this measure also contributed to growth. ]]></description>

In January-March 2014, GDP was up by 3.5 percent in comparison to the corresponding period of the previous year, an unprecedented increase since 2006. Data for Q3 and Q4 2013 were already above prior expectations, but this year’s first quarter figure significantly exceeded the 2.7 percent growth forecast of analysts. In light of first quarter GDP data, it can be reasonably expected that for the entire year of 2014 GDP growth will be above the 2.3 percent estimate prognosticated by the Government. ]]></description>
