The latest figure compared with the value when the new government took office – and, for comparison, how the indicator moved over the same length of time before the change. This is a short period: the indicators are also strongly driven by the world economy, earlier decisions and seasonal effects, so changes cannot be attributed to the new government alone.

About this indicator

How many forints one US dollar cost since the end of communism. Besides the forint's own moves, USD/HUF also reflects the euro–dollar rate, so the dollar can get more expensive even when the forint is stable against the euro.

The latest figure (27 Oct 2026) is 329.51 HUF, under the Magyar Péter government. The series goes back to 1990; the highest value was 445.73 HUF (13 Oct 2022) and the lowest 60.19 HUF (20 Nov 1990).
