Nagy: Self-sufficient economy needed for sustainable convergence

Under the present circumstances, Hungary is in need of not just a self-sufficient economic policy but also a self-sufficient economy in order to achieve sustainable convergence, Marton Nagy, the candidate for minister for economic development, said on Wednesday. "We are living in a turbulent decade in which we are simultaneously threatened by war, constant pandemic waves and the resulting energy and food crises," Nagy said in a hearing before parliament's economic committee. Hungary must protect its economic achievements in a way that it emerges stronger from the crisis, he said.
