Summary
2030 is the target year by which Hungary could satisfy the EU’s economic conditions for adopting the euro, Prime Minister Peter Magyar said after talks in Budapest.
Magyar described that timeline as a path to meeting entry criteria, while stressing that joining the common currency would still require a separate political decision.
Public consultation would be needed before any final move to adopt the euro, he said alongside Eurogroup President Kyriakos Pierrakakis.
The statement marks Hungary’s clearest timetable yet for potential euro adoption, even though meeting the criteria would not by itself guarantee entry.
