- Data from October 2014. Most recent data: Further Eurostat information, Main tables.
This article is part of a set of statistical articles based on the Eurostat publication Smarter, greener, more inclusive? - Indicators to support the Europe 2020 strategy. It provides recent statistics on the Europe 2020 strategy of the European Union (EU), focusing on the situation in Hungary.
Main statistical findings
By reducing its GHG emissions in non-ETS sectors by 21.4 % until 2012, Hungary remained well below its emissions target to limit emission rises to 10 % by 2020. Progress towards the country’s education targets has been ambiguous since 2008. While the country met its national target on tertiary education in 2013, it did not reduce the share of early leavers from education and training. In terms of R & D expenditure, Hungary was 0.5 percentage points below its national target in 2012 and thus closer than the EU average. The share of renewables in gross final energy consumption has more than doubled since 2005, putting the country slightly closer to its national target than the EU average. Poverty levels, however, have deteriorated in Hungary since the economic crisis began, resulting in a large gap of almost one million people that need to be lifted out of the risk of poverty or social exclusion. Despite the favourable increase in the employment rate from 2010 to 2013, the country had one of the largest gaps to its 75 % target.
