When examining Hungarian economic growth, the dynamics of credit and investment play an important role. GDP, as the basis for measuring economic performance, often fails to adequately consider social and environmental factors. Therefore, alternative indicators, such as the Human Development Index and the Gross National Happiness Index, are more closely linked to measuring social well-being and sustainability. Attention to quality investments, which are essential for maintaining economic growth, is particularly important, as these investments foster technological development and the modernization of economic structures. The role of the credit market is also crucial, as appropriate credit provision and financing of investments fundamentally influence economic growth. Despite crises and geopolitical tensions, favourable lending conditions and state-supported credit programs, such as the Széchenyi Card Program, provide significant support for launching investments in domestic businesses. However, the external market environment, high inflation, and financial uncertainties may hold back further investments, which could reduce competitiveness in the long term.
