After Greece, Now it is Hungary’s economy that is in trouble. There has been a fear in the market that Hungary is facing a debt crisis and hence its currency has devalued considerably against euro. According to spokesman of Viktor Orban, Hungary’s Prime Minister, the earlier government of Hungary falsified the data. Apparently, Hungary’s currency, the Forint, has devalued by 5.6% against the Euro.

Hungary is in great needs of funds but now it will be much more difficult for the country to borrow money. The biggest problem is that due to the recession of 2008, Hungary has already borrowed a lot of money. In 2008, Hungary was forced to ask for 25 billion dollar package from IMF and EU. The new government still says that it can manage big tax cuts which it promised to the Hungarians during the April election campaign.

Another issue is the fact that many Hungarians have taken mortgages in Swiss Franc since the interest rate is low in Franc. Hence with the devaluation of the Forint, homeowners will have to pay lot more mortgages. Experts are scared as the Forint devalues more, a banking crisis may emerge in Hungary.

Presenting false data by a nation is becoming quite a problem as the examples of Greece and Hungary emerge.
