Hungary’s real economic test

Prime Minister Peter Magyar’s government has just announced that, later this year, it will present a revised medium-term fiscal framework to meet the criteria for eurozone membership.
Euro adoption has drifted in and out of Hungarian policy debates for years, without ever becoming a serious governing objective. This is the first credible signal that something has changed.
