Transport
Transport statistics is about performances related to forwarding goods and the spatial movement of persons. Statistics on the movement of people have two main areas: interurban passenger transport (public transport between two settlements) and local passenger transport (public transport within a settlement). It also monitors the transport infrastructure involving rolling stock (e.g. number of passenger cars, buses) and built infrastructure (e.g. length of motorways, railway lines). Accident statistics take into account accidents in the country, with a special focus on road traffic accidents causing personal injury.

Hungary, quarters 1-3 of 2023 – On the path of disinflation
The GDP volume lagged behind the same period of the previous year’s level by 1.2% in the 1-3 quarters of 2023, however the fact that the 3rd quarter’s economic performance outperformed the previous quarter by 0.9% signals the end of recession. The setback of domestic consumption is the cause of the 1-3 quarters’ decrease, while the balance of the external trade improved significantly. The inflation growth rate continuously slowed down following its January peak, as a result real wages, after a year-long setback, started to grow once again in September.

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.
