Hungarian central bank to pause monetary easing

This week, the Hungarian central bank is the key event in the region. Although Hungary's inflation rate eased further in September, the Hungarian forint has weakened against the euro lately, supporting no change in the key policy rate scenario. Apart from Hungary, Poland will release important data. September's industrial output and retail sales growth will be published. Thus, Poland will have a complete set of monthly data for the third quarter. Finally, labor market data, such as the unemployment rate, will be released in Croatia, Poland, and Hungary. Wage growth will be released in Croatia and Serbia. On Friday S&P will decide on rating and outlook in Hungary and Slovakia. No change is expected.
