Hungary’s Economy Minister Varga Wins Euromoney Award
Economy Minister Mihály Varga has been named Finance Minister of the Year for Central and Eastern Europe by the Emerging Markets website of British monthly Euromoney. The timing of the conversion of foreign-currency mortgages to local currency was perfect, Emerging Markets observed. Furthermore, Hungary has paid back its loan to the IMF early, the site underlines.

Varga told reporters that critics of Hungarian economic policy have faded and the view that the success of the Hungarian economy is an example to follow is gaining ground.
