Most Hungarian Say FX Pain Should Be Shared
A 63% majority of Hungarians believe that the costs of solving foreign-currency debt problems should be shared between banks, debtors and the state, according to a survey for website Bankmonitor.

Another 20% would divide the costs among banks and the state, 16% would allocate all costs to banks and 1% voted for exclusive state help.

Respondents estimated on average that 31% of households are struggling with foreign-currency debt, rather than the actual 13%.
