**[Hungary's Bond Yields Rise to the Highest in the EU as Government Expands Budget Deficit, Sparking Market Concerns]** Jin10 Data, November 12 – Data shows that Hungary's government bond yields have surpassed Romania's for the first time in over a year, making them the riskiest bonds in the European Union. This comes after the government's plan to expand the budget deficit rattled the market. On Wednesday, data revealed that Hungary's 10-year domestic bond yield increased by 9 basis points, rising above 7%, bringing this week's total increase close to 20 basis points. Meanwhile, in early trading, Romania's comparable bond yield fell by 2 basis points to 6.96%. Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's government is ramping up spending as it seeks to reverse declining approval ratings ahead of next year's elections. ING strategist Chris Turner noted that although lower-than-expected inflation data might signal a dovish shift in interest rates, this was "quickly overshadowed by the government's announcement of increased public fiscal deficit."
