Economic woes overshadow Hungary's Christmas markets
Hungary's Christmas markets, once symbols of affordable holiday cheer, are now marred by economic difficulties, with surging energy prices and the country's highest inflation rates. Krisztina Kovács, a pottery vendor, has increased her prices by 20 percent due to rising production costs, making items less affordable for locals. Despite a decrease from last year's 26 percent inflation, Hungary still faces high prices, as explained by Peter Akos Bod, former Governor of the Hungarian National Bank. The markets, while attracting tourists, highlight the shift from festive joy to financial strain for many Hungarians.
