2026.10.1510:00:00UTC+00Hungary’s Consumer Sentiment Edges Higher in October, PCSI Rises to 48.58

Hungarian consumer confidence showed a modest improvement in October 2026, according to the latest Thomson Reuters IPSOS Primary Consumer Sentiment Index (PCSI) data. The headline index inched up to 48.58, from 48.23 in September 2026.

On a month-over-month basis, the October reading signals a slight strengthening in sentiment compared with September, when the index stood at 48.23. The data, updated as of 15 October 2026, indicate that consumer views in Hungary remain just below the neutral 50-point mark, but are trending incrementally higher as the month-to-month comparison continues to show gradual gains.

The “Actual” comparison reflects the change in October versus September 2026, while the “Previous” comparison refers to how September’s reading changed relative to the prior month. This framing underscores that the current move to 48.58 continues the recent pattern of incremental month-over-month improvement in Hungarian consumer sentiment.
