Hungary’s Banking Association Accepts “Unfair” Kúria Ruling
Hungary’s Banking Association on Monday called “unfair” a decision by the Kúria concerning forex loan agreements, but said that it accepted the ruling. Levente Kovács, the association’s general secretary, insisted that including an exchange rate spread in foreign currency-denominated loan agreements was justified, and served to finance the “considerable cost of covering hard currency positions”.

Kovács said that a “fair, viable and final” solution should be found to the problem of forex debtors, but added that that solution should not “pose an unbearable burden to banks”.
