Hungary’s Turnaround: Reviving European Ties and Business Prospects
Our latest report outlines Hungary’s political shift following TISZA’s decisive election victory, emphasizing plans to restore rule of law, rebuild EU relations, and stabilize the economy to unlock funding and strengthen investor confidence. While the outlook for international business is cautiously positive, companies should closely monitor upcoming regulatory changes, particularly in key sectors such as automotive and batteries, as well as the government’s progress in implementing reforms.
Executive Summary
Opposition leader Péter Magyar and his TISZA party achieved a historic victory over long-time prime minister Viktor Orbán by winning a two thirds majority.
For Magyar, economic recovery, rapprochement with the European Union – including a roadmap for membership of the Eurozone – and reviving partnerships with neighboring countries are closely related goals.
Re-establishing the rule of law will be key also for TISZA’s economic policies: Accessing EU funds, fighting corruption and halting overpriced governmental projects are all interlinked.
