Hungary’s New Leader Begins Biggest Challenge: Joining the Euro The political changes in the country have been breakneck. Delivering on the promise to adopt the single currency is a wholly different challenge. Prime Minister Peter Magyar galvanized Hungary with his vision of a national makeover following the Viktor Orban era. Now comes the tough task of delivering the economic centerpiece of that plan: a credible road map for euro adoption. Magyar’s government electrified markets with a pledge to meet criteria for membership in the European common currency by 2030, sparking a rally in the forint and reaping double-digit returns for bond investors. But that hinges on the painful reality of trying to reduce a bloated budget deficit by more than half over the next three years.
