BUDAPEST (Dow Jones)--Hungary's average unemployment rate in June-August again hit a 13-year high, meeting analysts' expectations, as a result of the deep economic downturn, data published Monday showed.

The three-month moving-average rate of unemployment rose in June-August to 9.9%, from 9.7% in May-July and from 7.5% in the corresponding period a year earlier, the Central Statistics Office, or KSH, said.

The data met the forecast of three analysts polled by Dow Jones Newswires for 9.9%.

Unemployment hit a 13-year high of 9.9% in the February-April period.
