Celebrating the first 100 Years of the Central Bank of Hungary
The Lamfalussy Lectures Conference series has come to a special edition in 2024, as the Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB), the Central Bank of Hungary is celebrating a double anniversary: the centenary of the establishment of the independent central bank of Hungary and the tenth edition of the event.
The independent central bank, which was established to regulate and supervise financial affairs, became one of the most important institutions of national unity. Thanks to the efforts of Sándor Popovics, the first Governor of the central bank, the foundations for the economic recovery of Hungary, which the country had suffered through the First World War, were laid down during first decade of the independent central bank’s existence. The centenary is linked to three dates in particular.
On 26 April 1924, the Act establishing the MNB came into force, on 24 May the joint stock company owning the central bank held its inaugural general meeting, and on 24 June the MNB began its operations.
Throughout its history, the MNB has successfully promoted Hungarian interests. Moreover, the central bank has always played an essential role in maintaining the country’s financial and economic stability, even in challenging historical years and in situations that threatened its basic functioning.
