BUDAPEST, March 8 (Reuters) - Hungary's central bank doubled down on pursuing a "very disciplined and tight" monetary policy on Wednesday after February data showed a marginal decrease in headline inflation to an annual 25.4%. Deputy Governor Barnabas Virag told parliament that the National Bank of Hungary aimed to wrestle down inflation as fast as possible to a "low range" near its 3% target, adding that tight policy was also needed to preserve financial stability.
