Where is the Hungarian economic policy headed? How are we trying to deal with the risks of increased inflation and recession? Can the excessive rigour of central banks bring about an economic contraction? Besides the most important Hungarian economic policymakers, we will listen to the opinions of foreign analysts and economists about Hungary and the world. Naturally, it can be a key question in the presentations how we can survive the heating season, whether there will be enough Russian gas and the impact of a possible halt in deliveries on the economy.

In the international environment full of challenges, Hungary also faces a range of unique problems. We will try our best to examine these issues that will determine our prospects in the following months. We still have to live with the Russian-Ukrainian war; the question is how it will influence geopolitical power relations, how long the conflict can last and how it can end. Another global trend is the disruption of supply chains, which Hungarian companies also feel. The Hungarian economy has long been facing shortages of labour supply, which will soon become a serious negative factor for companies again. The big question of the near future is energy independence since Europe should be able to switch off from Russian oil and gas within a few years. We will exchange views on these critical topics with experts.
