The latest wave of the IEER Business Climate Survey is based on the responses of 3,274 enterprises. According to the findings, the Business Climate Index was at 53 points as of April 2018. This score has been the highest since 1998, the year when surveying began.

Companies still see business climate as favourable. The improving tendency of the previous year seems to be continuing. For most part this can be put down to the fact that expectations for unfilled orders have become much higher. Business climate outlook has also improved slightly.

Uncertainty index dropped 3 points below the October value to 39. This might mean that the optimism of Hungarian businesses has become more uniform compared to previous year’s data.
