There are serious concerns about the data validity of the income measurement of the EU-SILC in Hungary after 2017. The numbers reek of manipulation to make the Orban government appear better at fighting poverty than it actually is. This is serious, as it undermines trust in the whole data set.
Anomalies & data problems are found in the Hungarian EU SILC income data from around year 2017. It is very likely that the data was manipulated to decrease the poverty rate.
Annamaria Tatrai and Andras Gabos conducted a very thorough investigation of the issue: www.valaszonline.hu/2025/04/01/e...
