Matolcsy We took a new direction in 2020
“In 1956, the Hungarian Revolution halted Soviet dictatorships in Europe for a moment. (…) 2020 is a similarly revolutionary year, when the coronavirus almost stopped the world” says György Matolcsy in his article published on növekedés.hu (growth.hu).
According to the CEO of the Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB), “our individual freedom was limited by quarantine, distancing, and wearing masks to an extent we could not have imagined in peacetime”. At the same time, according to him, “the world of new, secure freedom is not coming right now”. (hvg.hu)
