WOOD Flash – Hungary macro: an update on the funding, growth changes and politics
An unusual, mixed policy message was delivered last week, when Finance Minister Varga raised the possibility of an increase in the tax burden for the banks, while Fidesz leader Kocsis, Minister for Economic Development Nagy and, very recently, PM Orban himself strongly rebuffed that possibility. In our view, this dynamic is unusual, as Minister Varga has a strong reputation for contributing to Hungary’s more stable fiscal position, so his comments need to be taken seriously, although the timing of the implementation of corrective measures may still be a year away, on our current best assessment.
