Hungary Producer Price Index (PPI)

Hungary's Producer Price Index (PPI) decreased to 2.3% in August 2025, down from 4.5% in July 2025. This is the lowest PPI since September 2024. The decline occurred due to slower price growth in mining, quarrying and manufacturing. Costs for electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply also fell. Electricity prices on the Hungarian energy exchange HUPX day-ahead market dropped by 22% in August 2025 compared to July. This reflects moderating input costs for manufacturers, consistent with declining industrial production in Hungary during the first quarter of 2025. Hungary's record low PPI was -7.2% in December 2023 and record high was 43.4% in August 2022.
