The number of births per 1, inhabitants reached 9.9, the highest rate of the recent 1 years in Hungary. The number of deaths decreased, nevertheless it still strongly surpasses that of births. Natural decrease caused a drop of 32 thousand, while international migration resulted in a rise of 19 thousand in the number of inhabitants. In this way, the number of inhabitants was 13 thousand below the level of the previous year. Million 1 Population by age-group (at the beginning of the year)

4 Demography Vital statistics Per thousand inhabitants marriages divorces live births deaths Infant mortality (per thousand live-born) Average life expectancy at birth, year males females a 76.9 a a) 25. The demographic reason for the rise of number of births in the recent years is that generations of women of child-bearing age over 3 succeeded in counterbalancing the plummeting childbirths of younger generations. The transformation of forms of co-habitation contributed to the fact that the share of births outside marriage rose from 13% in 199 to 36% in 26. Infant mortality decreased below 6 thousandths.

Thus the actual number of inhabitants increased by 15,2 in one year. The number of live births per 1, inhabitants is the highest in Northern Great Plain (1.5), while the death rate is the lowest here (12.5). The number of deaths per 1, inhabitants is the highest in Northern Hungary, 13.8, and Southern Great Plain has a hardly lower level.

There were 2 inhabitants per doctor on the average in 25. The number of consultations with the GP and that of home visits amounted to 12 thousand. The main reason for adult population consulting with the GP was hypertonia, annual number of cases approaching 2 millions. The number of consultations with family paediatricians is an annual average of 6 thousand. This is complemented by 66 home visits, 37% of which was carried out with the aim of prevention.

18 Economic growth and level of development Distribution of gross value added by industries Gross domestic product (GDP) of Hungary has been growing at an even rate of 4 to 5% since the millennium. Within this period in 26 the economy expanded by 3.9% in spite of the boom experienced in the world and in Europe, so Hungary's dynamism was below the average of previous years. The background for this phenomenon is primarily the effect of measures aiming to restore economic equilibrium, causing a diminishing demand.

The remaining 21% is linked to investments of household sector (non-market economic activity). The weight of households' investments rose parallel with the growth in the number of dwelling constructions at the beginning of the millennium, reaching 26% in 24. At the same time, the share of companies' investments dropped. This trend turned in 25 and the distribution of investments between companies and households in 26 was again similar to that measured 6 years before.

The most determinant products of the machinery export generally belong to the headings of telecommunication appliances as well as to the automotive industry (cellular phones, LCD television sets as well as automobiles and motor engines). A significant part of the machinery imports like parts and components serves the production of the abovementioned articles, arriving predominantly from the Far East region. The turnover of motor-cars also represents an important part of the imports, main suppliers being the EU member states.

A reason for this loss of significance has been an EU support of smaller volume compared to that provided to crops and horticulture. Output of animal husbandry hardly changed between the mid-nineties and 23, although there was an annual fluctuation. The decline of 13% in output of slaughter animals, as well as a decreasing production of animal products (a 1% drop of cow milk and a 15% fall of eggs) significantly contributed to the decrease from 23. Production of wool, representing a smaller weight, is gradually increasing, while production of honey slightly fell after the record of 23. % Gross production of agriculture (average of =1) Crops and horticulture Animal husbandry Total

One of them is Central Hungary, including the capital and thus being the most populous, another is Western Transdanubia, and the third is Central Transdanubia. The latter region has become the one providing the largest industrial production in the country since 25. Per capita industrial output is the highest in Central Transdanubia as well (HUF 4.9 million), followed by Western Trandanubia (HUF 3.2 million). This indicator remains below the national average of HUF 1.9 million in all other regions. Distribution of industrial sales, % 28% 51% % 49% 54% 26 46% Domestic sales Export sales 25

Growth rate of building construction surpassed that of civil engineering works until 22, but in the succeeding three years the dynamics of the latter was stronger, primarily due to road construction. In 26 it was again building construction that rose more intensively in spite of the fact that the number of dwellings constructed was significantly below the level of the previous year. % 18 Construction output by main building groups (2=1) Buildings Construction industry, total Other structures 26

However, since then the number of dwellings constructed declined. Until 25 this market was characterised by entrepreneurial dwelling construction and a boom of construction in towns, especially in Budapest as well as construction of multi-storey buildings containing several dwellings and buildings in residents' parks.
