Hungary’s inflation rate holds steady at 4.3% in August

Investing.com -- Hungary’s consumer prices remained unchanged in August compared to July, maintaining the 12-month headline inflation rate at 4.3%, according to data released Tuesday.

The inflation figure matched analyst expectations based on Bloomberg consensus estimates. Core inflation showed a slight improvement, easing to 3.9% year-on-year from 4% in July.

Looking at monthly price movements, food and household energy costs remained flat in August. Service prices increased by 0.5% month-on-month, while alcohol and tobacco prices rose by 0.6%.

Some categories saw price decreases, with vehicle fuel prices falling by 0.8% and clothing prices dropping by 1.7%, the latter decline attributed to seasonal factors.
