Hungary's trade volume continued to grow at a rapid pace in May, albeit from a low base, when pandemic shutdowns still impacted a number of sectors, data released by the Central Statistical Office on Friday show. Exports rose by an annual 37.9 percent to 9.397 billion euros, while imports climbed 38.2 percent to 9.300 billion euros. The 97 million euro trade surplus edged up from 87 million euros in the base period.
