The Magyar Nemzeti Bank maintained its policy rate unchanged at 6.00% despite inflation rising above its target. The Bank said: "inflation is expected to be significantly above the target in the short term…but may fall back close to 3% by the end of next year even without further policy tightening". Hungary reported annual inflation of 4.7% in April, up from 4.5% the previous month, meanwhile food inflation rose to 9.4% from 8.6% respectively. Hungary's Central Bank has a medium term inflation target of 3%.
