About this indicator

This measures Hungary's convergence: 100 equals the EU average. Purchasing power parity removes price level differences between countries. In recent years both Poland and Romania have overtaken Hungary.

The latest figure (2024) is 77, under the Orbán Viktor government. The series goes back to 1995; the highest value was 77 (2022) and the lowest 51 (1996).
