The central budget had a 38.8 billion forints surplus and separate state funds had a 15.6 billion forints surplus, but the social security funds ran a 23.1 billion forints deficit in January.

Public finance revenue came to 1,201.0 billion forints in January. Expenditures reached 1,169.7 billion forints. Central budget revenue was 776.0 billion forints and expenditures reached 737.2 billion forints.
