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 published,
 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.
