Euro or forint? Here is what Hungarians think
Change language:
A majority of Hungarians do not think that Hungary is ready to introduce the common currency of the European Union. Meanwhile, more than 2/3rds of those asked believe that introducing the euro would be beneficial. Here are the findings of the latest relevant survey of the Republikon Institute.
Introducing the euro: Hungarians think it is realistic
According to index.hu, the Institute examined what citizens think about introducing the euro in EU states outside of the eurozone: Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Croatia, Hungary, Poland, Romania, and Sweden. Based on the institute’s findings, the majority of people do not think their countries are ready to introduce the euro. In Hungary, this rate is lower than in the other Visegrád Four countries not using the euro, like the Czech Republic and Poland.
In this respect, Hungarians and the citizens of
the analysed countries view their possibilities objectively.
In the 2020 convergence report of the European Central Bank, they say that Hungary does not meet the Maastricht criteria. The country’s 1.8 pc inflation rate and 60 pc budget deficit are very high.
Total Bovine Excrement. Hungarians Do NOT want the Euro. I could take a poll and get most of the respondents if they would like to see Barney become the Prime Minister of Hungary and get a majority agreement by just asking a leading question. Polls are almost alway taken to seek the desired response.
