IMF Statement on Hungary


International Monetary Fund (IMF) Managing Director, Christine Lagarde, discussed the new economic developments with Hungarian Minister, Tamas Fellegi.

International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde issued the following statement on Hungary today: “I met today with a Hungarian delegation led by Minister Tamas Fellegi. We had a useful exchange about the latest economic developments in Hungary and about how best the IMF can assist the country in addressing the current economic situation.

“I indicated that, before the Fund can determine when and whether to start negotiations for a Stand-By Arrangement, it will need to see tangible steps that show the authorities’ strong commitment to engage on all the policy issues that are relevant to macro-economic stability. Support of the European authorities and institutions would also be critical for successful discussions of a new programme.”
