The Policy Agenda’s index predicts a further slow-down of the Hungarian economy

Policy Agenda’s  Economic Development Index (EDI), which indicates a short-run forecast of the economic growth, stood at 1,04 in the last quarter of 2011. The figure is 0,3 point lower than that of the 3rd quarter in 2011. All these are indicators of a further slow-down of the economy in the next half year – according to the Policy Agenda Research Institute’s analysis published  by MTI on Wednesday.

Economic Development Index: neither improvement is perceivable nor optimism
