According to central bank officials, the low inflation environment that has defined monetary policy in recent years and which has allowed interest rates to be kept low is over. The changing environment forces a change of the system, changing the entire way of thinking.

Increases. As a self-fulfilling prophecy, the high inflation currently being experienced can keep inflation high in the future as well.
The devastating effect of inflation can be felt in more and more areas of the home.

With this, we will most likely have to say goodbye to the last daily Hungarian economic newspaper.
