Hungary, a new chapter.
Last week, our Vice-President Marko Primorac and our senior team met with national leaders and the City of Budapest to start a new chapter in our long-standing partnership, focused on turning shared priorities into concrete projects that improve everyday life for Hungarian citizens.
What did we discuss?
🔵 Better use of recently unlocked EU funds and how we can help Hungary better utilise recently unlocked EU resources and strengthen project pipelines that support sustainable growth and investment readiness.
🔵Accelerating investment in clean energy, strengthening energy security, and supporting climate resilience, water management, and sustainable infrastructure.
🔵Rail modernisation, urban mobility, and increased access to affordable housing, with a strong focus on sustainable urban development in Budapest.
We also discussed the important role we can play in Hungary’s reform agenda. We offered our support across key priorities, and there was clear recognition that there is significant space for us to contribute further to delivering these reforms effectively.
In our discussions with the City of Budapest, where we are already the largest international lender, we also explored how we can further support sustainable urban investment and development going forward.
Across all meetings, there was a shared ambition and commitment to EU values, and a strong focus on moving from plans to delivery, ensuring investment translates into real improvements in people’s daily lives.
With nearly €26 billion already invested in Hungary, we remain a long-term partner working alongside the government, cities, and municipalities. We look forward to continuing this work in the next chapter of our partnership.
