In 2024, the Budapest metropolitan area contributed 48.8% of Hungary's GDP and grew 2.5% in real terms. The economy saw moderate growth in agriculture and construction, strong service sector performance despite real estate challenges, and a decline in manufacturing. High inflation in services increased household spending, but overall consumption remained low due to high savings. This imbalance resulted in marginal domestic demand growth, decreased exports, and a drop in imports due to high inventories.
