Hungary could end 2009 as a member of an exclusive club of just five EU member states with a budget deficit under four per cent – a far cry from three years ago, when it had the highest shortfall in Europe. The country began the year with the ignominy of recently having become the first EU member to require an international bailout as the financial crisis struck. In fact, Hungary had been labouring under an economic crisis of its own for more than two years when the shockwaves hit.
However, as we approach the end of the first decade of the new millennium, it looks as though after years of living beyond its means, 2009 might go down as the year that Hungary finally began to sort itself out.
