WOOD Flash – Hungary macro: Tisza secures two-thirds majority in parliament

The general elections delivered a strong mandate to opposition party Tisza, which will, according to the current vote count, have a majority of 138 seats, out of 199, in the Hungarian parliament. The party has put forward an ambitious policy plan that will seek to diversify the country’s economic model, strengthen the credibility and predictability of the budget process, and boost investment in healthcare and education. With such a strong result, if the party is genuinely driven to improve the rule of law, it should be able to deliver meaningful steps forward, which will be necessary to increase the inflows of EU funds and enter the EUR adoption process it is seeking. This result increases the likelihood of the NBH resuming interest rate cuts in the near term.
