Márton Nagy: fiscal policy will play a greater role in economic recovery

According to his statement, the government intends to stimulate the economy with fiscal means, through increased consumption and an increase in real wages. In the longer term, however, he considers investment-led growth to be the goal.

He said: strengthening internal demand can also support the operation of domestic businesses.

According to the minister, as a result of this budgetary policy, the deficit as a percentage of GDP was increased to 5 percent in both 2025 and 2026. He added: this level does not yet entail an EU excessive deficit procedure.
