Orban's course is canceled — the new Hungarian government has named the timing of the transition to the euro

The new government of Hungary, headed by Peter Magyar, intends to provide conditions for the introduction of a single European currency in the country — the euro — by 2030. This was stated by the economic adviser of the Tisa party that won the parliamentary elections, Andras Karman, the main candidate for the post of finance minister.

Karman said that the necessary conditions for Hungary's transition from the forint to the euro can be created within four years, that is, during the term of office of the government, which will be formed by Tise.

"After that, a positive decision may be made on the introduction of the euro, and with a favorable development of events, this may happen even earlier," Karman said in an interview with RTL.

He added that the "target date for the transition to the euro" will be set after the new Cabinet of Ministers assesses the financial situation of the country.
