Orban: New plan to boost growth expected by mid-Sept

The government expects to be ready with a new two-year plan to boost economic growth by mid-September, Prime Minister Viktor Orban told public broadcaster Kossuth Radio on Friday. In his regular weekly interview, the prime minister said he discussed economic policy measures with the relevant ministers and experts and asked them to combine their individual proposals drafted over the past several weeks to form a "logical growth plan containing dozens of measures" by mid-September. He said he expected the two-year plan which the government will implement starting with the fourth quarter of 2020 to pass "all the necessary political and government forums" by the middle of next month.
