National accounts, GDP
National accounts are a system of macro-economic statistical accounts, summarising the economic activities of a particular country, which compares resources with their uses. The data, produced according to the methodology of the European system of national accounts (ESA), are suitable for international comparison, too. The best known and mostly used indicator of the system of accounts is gross domestic product (GDP), the level and volume change of which are key indicators to evaluate the level of development and growth of the economy.

Hungary, 2022
The processes taken place in 2022 were mainly determined by the uncertain global environment due to the Russia-Ukraine war and the general and considerable price increases worldwide. Despite these challenges, the Hungarian economy's performance expanded by 4.6% year-on-year, above the EU average. Employment reached a new record high and average earnings rose significantly, but the impact of this was gradually eroded by surging inflation. Population decline continued at a lower pace than in the previous year.
