Hungary has a transitional economy, with a well-developed service sector, export-oriented industry and highly developed agriculture. In 2023, the Hungarian economy continued to stagnate, supporting the general trend of the EU countries. Despite this, the Hungarian forint strengthened in 2023 against the dollar and the euro. The real estate market is developing dynamically, the government is taking measures to develop an affordable housing program for Hungarians, reducing mortgage rates and developing targeted programs, hoping thereby to stimulate new construction.

The decisive factor for me in my decision to obtain Grenadian citizenship was the possibility of a visa-free visit to Europe, where my husband and I love to come both on business trips and on vacation. Thank you One World Migration!
