Government credit schemes such as the Széchenyi Card and Re-industrialisation programme supporting companies are expected to add some 1.0-1.2% to the country’s GDP this year, saving it from recession, the minister of economic development told a conference. Avoiding recession and pushing inflation into single digits by year-end remain the main goals of Hungarian economic policy, Márton Nagy said. The Széchenyi Card programme facilitated contracts worth a total of 387 billion forints (EUR 1.0bn) between January and April, and the re-industrialisation scheme 534 billion, he said.
