Mihaly Varga said Hungary’s central bank will be a “constructive partner” in the new government’s plan to adopt the euro, signaling it will not block the push.

Peter Magyar’s government would make the final call because joining the EU’s single currency is ultimately a political decision, Varga said.
The remarks give Hungary’s euro debate fresh institutional backing, though they also underline that inflation discipline and government commitment remain prerequisites.
