Investment volume falls by 12 pc in Q3 - KSH

Investment volume in Hungary fell by an annual 12 percent in the third quarter of 2020, the Central Statistical Office (KSH) said on Thursday. In a quarter-on-quarter comparison, investment volume fell by a seasonally adjusted 2.1 percent. Investment volume fell in most economic sectors but jumped by 98.4 percent in health care due to pandemic-related spending, KSH said. The decline in investment volume was most apparent at companies with high headcounts, especially at foreign-owned and state-owned companies.
