The Atradius Payment Practices Barometer for Hungary in May 2017 found that the country's economy is forecast to expand by 3.2%. Respondents in Hungary had the highest proportion of sales made on credit terms in Eastern Europe, with 65.5% of B2B sales on credit. The total value of B2B sales on credit in Hungary increased again this year, with 62.1% of sales to B2B domestic customers and 68.8% of sales to B2B foreign customers transacted on credit. Hungarian respondents had a clear preference for selling on credit terms internationally, with a greater reluctance to offer credit to foreign than to domestic B2B customers in Turkey and Poland. Compared to the averages for Eastern Europe overall, respondents in Hungary are far more open to granting credit terms to both their domestic and foreign B2B customers.
