Irányadóak

Irányadóak is the plural form of the Hungarian adjective irányadó, which means providing direction, guiding, or serving as a benchmark. In usage, irányadóak describes things that establish reference points or direct how decisions are made. The term is most often found in contexts where certain values, indicators, or standards set the framework for others.

In economics and finance, irányadóek or irányadó értékek frequently refer to benchmark prices (irányadó árak) or reference rates (irányadó kamatok). These figures help determine contracts, pricing, and policy signals, and are used as reference points by market participants, regulators, and institutions. For example, a central bank may publish irányadó kamatszintet (benchmark interest rate) that influences borrowing costs.

Beyond pricing and finance, irányadóak can describe guiding principles, standards, or indicators in policy, statistics, and planning. Examples include irányadó elvek (guiding principles), irányadó mutatók (leading indicators), or irányadó adatok (reference data) used to forecast trends or assess compliance with regulations.

Etymology and nuance: irányadó derives from irány (direction) and the suffix -adó, indicating something that provides or imposes direction. The plural form irányadóak is used when referring to multiple guiding values or benchmarks. Related terms include referenciaérték, benchmark, and reference rate.
