Boston, MA -- (ReleaseWire) -- 06/10/2014 --BMI View : The re-election of the governing Fidesz party on April 6 augurs for broad policy continuity and has not altered out fundamental outlook for Hungary's construction sector over the next few years. We maintain our view that a recovery in the sector has taken hold amid a steady improvement in macroeconomic conditions and fixed asset investment in particular. We are forecasting real construction industry growth of 2.9% in 2014 and 2.1% in 2015.

We expect growth over the next few years to be subdued and we are forecasting average industry growth of 2.0% between 2014 and 2018, with the country's weak business environment remaining a key drag on industry growth. Persistent weakness in the residential and non-residential sectors will also weigh on the wider sector's growth prospects.

This drive has been reflected in improving quarterly growth numbers for the construction sector, which saw real terms year-on-year increases of 5.8% and 7.2% in Q213 and Q313 respectively. One project to go ahead is the modernisation of infrastructure around Lake Balaton (a popular tourist resort) - announced...
