Hungarian Minister of National Economy, Márton Nagy, identified four banks that he believes should remain in Hungary, stating that 'the fifth spot is currently vacant' during a conference at the National University of Public Service.

Hungarian Minister Márton Nagy attributed the country's recent economic struggles to its integration into the German economy and specialization in the vehicle industry, an explanation challenged by the growth of Slovakia and the Czech Republic.

Hungarian Minister Márton Nagy stated that Hungarian banks are expensive and suggested reducing their number to five major institutions. Bankmonitor experts are investigating the actual cost structure of these banks.
