Households’ securities holdings hit record high
The total value of domestic securities held by households – which include government securities, bonds, investment fund units and equities, rose by 1.3% month-on-month to a record Ft 29 trillion in July, according to data from the MNB.
This marked the fourth consecutive monthly increase following a dip in early spring.
The Ft 379 billion monthly growth was driven in equal parts by fresh investments and gains, of Ft 188 billion and Ft 191 billion, respectively.
Investment funds attracted the largest inflows, as households entrusted them with nearly Ft 163 billion in July.
Demand for government bonds, accounting for 46% of the total, also saw strong demand, with net purchases of Ft 54 billion, the second-highest monthly volume this year.
Households continued to withdraw from equities, selling around Ft 29 billion in Hungarian stocks despite a 3.7% rise in the BUX index, which generated Ft 76 billion in gains for those who held on to their shares.
