The government has published its new state construction investment program until 2035, which includes a budget of more than 9,500 billion forints. The draft decree lists in detail the projects starting and ending in 2025 and 2026, including several developments that directly affect the Balaton region – writes Infostart.

Investments of the future in a unified framework

The new feature of the document submitted for public consultation by the Ministry of Construction and Transport is that it does not contain the projects themselves – most of them were already known from previous strategies and preparations – but that for the first time they have been organized into a unified, sector-based framework program that looks ahead to 2035.

A wide range of developments in Lake Balaton

In the Balaton region, transport infrastructure, tourism, public services, education, and settlement development also play an important role. hirbalaton.hu has collected investments related to the region, including transport, environmental, educational and tourism projects.
