Work is still in progress, there is no decision yet weather to change the GDP growth forecast for next year, Finance Minister János Veres said on a press conference today. Világgazdaság this morning wrote that according to the paper's information the ministry will increase its growth forecast for 2008, from 2.6% to 2.9% or 3.2%, depending on the possible one-off payment equal to a half 13th month salary for the public sector workers in January 2008.
