KSH: HUNGARY GDP UP BY 2.2% YR/YR IN Q1 - 2ND READING

 

The Hungarian economy grew by an annual 2.2% in the first quarter, the Central Statistical Office (KSH) said, based on its second reading of the data.
According to seasonally and calendar-adjusted data, GDP grew by 2% compared with the same quarter of the previous year and eased by 0.4% compared with the previous quarter.
The coronavirus epidemic had a negative effect on most sectors. Services and, to a lesser extent, industry continued to be the drivers of growth, the KSH said.
