Central government debt (monthly)
What has changed since the change of government?
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
Monthly data from ÁKK. It covers less than the Maastricht (general government) debt, but is updated monthly, so recent months are easier to follow. Because part of the debt is in foreign currency, forint exchange-rate moves also shift it.
The latest figure (September 2026) is 67.77 trn HUF, under the Magyar Péter government. The series goes back to 2005; the highest value was 67.77 trn HUF (September 2026) and the lowest 11.76 trn HUF (January 2005).
