Since the outbreak of the debt crisis in Europe, Poland and other new EU member states, the economy has maintained a relatively stable development, as a rare bright spot of the EU economy. Last year, however, the Hungarian economic situation continued to deteriorate, to the end of Hungary's public debt reached $ 186 billion, 85.1 percent of the gross domestic product (GDP) of countries with the highest public debt in the new EU member states.
