Hungary: Stocks traded, total value (current US$)

Key figures

What the numbers say

In 2025, Hungary's stocks traded, total value (current US$) rose 77.1% on 2024 (from US$7.38 billion to US$13.06 billion).

Across the 22 yearly changes before that (2003 to 2024), the average change was +5.1% and a typical year strayed about 31.5% from that (the standard deviation). This year's change was 2.3 standard deviations above that average, so it was unusually large compared with the rest of the record.

On record, the biggest yearly rise was 77.1% in 2025 and the biggest yearly fall was 41.7% in 2008. The numbers show how large and when, not why; for the cause, look at what happened in that country in those years.

From 2016 to 2025 there is no clear straight-line trend: a straight line explains 1% of the movement over 10 observed years, so the value is moving around more than it is heading anywhere.

What this measures

The value of shares traded is the total number of shares traded, both domestic and foreign, multiplied by their respective matching prices. Figures are single counted (only one side of the transaction is considered). Companies admitted to listing and admitted to trading are included in the data. Data are end of year values converted to U.S. dollars using corresponding year-end foreign exchange rates.

Limitations: Data cover measures of size (market capitalization, number of listed domestic companies) and liquidity (value of shares traded as a percentage of gross domestic product, value of shares traded as a percentage of market capitalization). The comparability of such data across countries may be limited by conceptual and statistical weaknesses, such as inaccurate reporting and differences in accounting standards. Only EOB trades are included in the total value of shares traded.

Regional and income-group figures are computed by the World Bank as a sum.
