reálgazdaság

The term "reálgazdaság" is a Hungarian economic concept that translates to "real economy." It refers to the sector of the economy that produces goods and services, as opposed to the financial sector which deals with financial assets and transactions. The real economy encompasses all tangible activities, such as manufacturing, agriculture, construction, trade, and services that directly contribute to the creation of wealth and employment.

The distinction between the real economy and the financial economy is important for understanding economic policy and analysis. While the financial sector plays a crucial role in facilitating investment and capital flow, an overemphasis on financial markets without a corresponding strength in the real economy can lead to imbalances. Economic policies often aim to support and stimulate the real economy, recognizing its fundamental importance for long-term sustainable growth and societal well-being. Issues within the real economy, such as declining industrial output or rising unemployment, directly impact people's livelihoods and the overall economic health of a nation. Conversely, a vibrant real economy generates demand for financial services and contributes to the stability and prosperity of the financial sector.
