- 4 Aug 2025 5:05 PM
The government will expand funding for a village shops support programme to match demand, Gergely Gulyas, the head of the Prime Minister's Office, said at a weekly press briefing.
Gulyas said applications for more than HUF 10bn of support had been received, well over the HUF 4bn initially earmarked for the scheme. The government has decided to ensure the funding necessary for awards for all eligible applications, he added.
A total of 3,527 applications have been submitted by 2,392 applicants in 1,966 settlements with populations under 5,000, he said.
Applicants may apply for up to HUF 3m in grant money.
