PM Orbán: Government’s economic stimulus measures are ‘off to a flying start’

“We’re not just making promises, but working and making progress,” PM Orbán said.

Prime Minister Viktor Orbán said the government’s economic stimulus measures are “off to a flying start”.

“We’re not just making promises, but working and making progress,” PM Orbán said in a video message on social media on Wednesday.

He noted the launch of the Demján Sándor Programme, a scheme to scale up local SMEs, as well as of subsidised credit for young, blue-collar workers.

PM Orbán also pointed to some HUF 1,700bn in yields on retail government securities to be paid to over 800,000 households in the course of 2025, adding that they would get HUF 954bn of that amount in the first quarter.

Rather than “fattening up” foreign investors, those yields are going to Hungarian households which is “good for families, good for the Hungarian economy and good for Hungary”, he said.

“So starts a fantastic year,” he added.
