🇨🇭 CHF vs 🇭🇺 HUF: Currency Strength Comparison
Data updated: November 6, 2026
On November 6, 2026, one Swiss Franc bought 398.01 HUF at the official reference rate, so per unit the Swiss Franc is worth more. A higher unit value only reflects how each currency is denominated, not which one is gaining: over the past 12 months CHF weakened by 4% against HUF, so on momentum the Hungarian Forint (HUF) is the stronger of the two.
Adjusted for consumer-price inflation in both economies, CHF lost 3.4% in real terms against HUF over the same period.

How this comparison works
Each currency's strength index starts at 100 and accumulates its daily change against 15 other major currencies (a geometric mean of pairwise exchange-rate moves), using European Central Bank reference rates and other official sources. The relative figures above divide CHF's index by HUF's, so they reflect the two currencies' performance against each other while accounting for the whole basket. The real variant additionally adjusts each currency for its domestic CPI inflation.
