HUNGARY 
A. — Budgetary Situation 
The fiscal year in Hungary runs from July 1 to June 30. In the table 
below the budgetary results for the years 1922-23 to 1924-25 are omitted 
because, on the one hand, no final accounts for these years have yet been pub- 
lished, and, on the other, because of the rapid depreciation of the currency, the 
budgetary figures represented very different values from one year to another. 
It would therefore be inaccurate to compare them. The figures of the budget 
for the year 1924-25 show a deficit of 1,698,818,500,000 paper crowns, 
which is the equivalent of about | 00,000,000 gold crowns. It is believed 
however that, due to the increased revenue returns, the final accounting will 
show a surplus of about 50,000,000 gold crowns rather than the anticipated 
deficit. The budgetary estimates for 1925-26 show a surplus of 400,159,- 
625,000 paper crowns.
