EIB Eyes Bigger Hungary Lending After EU Unlocks €16.4 Billion

Summary
Hungary could see significantly higher European Investment Bank lending after the EU agreed last week to release €16.4 billion in previously frozen funds.
Marko Primorac, the EIB vice president, said the deal opens room for co-financing major projects, especially in energy, infrastructure and housing.
Peter Magyar, Hungary's newly elected prime minister, secured the EU agreement, removing a key constraint that had limited financing options.
The shift points to broader investment support for Hungary as restored EU funding can now be paired with EIB loans on large-scale projects.
