The authorities are monitoring these processes and analysing their impact on the country's economy.

Government response
Prime Minister Magyar stressed that the government is closely monitoring the situation and taking measures to minimise risks. The authorities are considering strengthening control over financial transactions and verifying the sources of funds that are being transferred abroad.
The government also calls on international partners to cooperate in financial monitoring. This should help stop the illegal outflow of capital and ensure transparency of financial flows.
Why it matters
The massive flight of oligarchs from Orban's entourage and the withdrawal of money abroad could have serious consequences for the Hungarian economy. Declining investment and capital losses could affect the stability of the national currency and confidence in the financial system.
In addition, the situation demonstrates profound changes in the country's political landscape. The flight of business elites may mean the loss of influence of the previous government and the transition to a new political era. The government's response to these developments will determine Hungary's further development in the coming years.
