理彼得·马加尔表示，为维持债务融资的可持续性并推动国家加入欧元区，匈牙利必须大幅缩减预算赤字。
Hungary needs to significantly narrow its budget deficit to make debt financing sustainable and to put the country on a path toward adopting the euro, Prime Minister Peter Magyar said.
马加尔在周五于布达佩斯举行的新闻发布会上称，政府目前仍在敲定2027年预算及中期财政规划，预计本月将公布草案。投资者正密切关注政府将采取何种措施来增加财政收入并削减开支，以实现符合欧元区准入标准的财政整顿目标。
The government is still finalizing its 2027 budget and medium-term fiscal outlook and plans to publish the draft this month, Magyar told a news conference in Budapest on Friday. Investors are awaiting details on how the cabinet will raise revenue and cut spending to deliver the fiscal consolidation needed to meet euro-entry criteria.
自今年4月马加尔在大选中击败执政16年的维克托·欧尔班并承诺带领匈牙利加入欧元区以来，匈牙利国债价格及货币福林汇率均出现上涨。匈牙利计划到2030年满足所有欧元区准入条件，包括将预算赤字率从今年预计的7.5%降至3%。
Hungarian bonds and the forint have rallied since Magyar ended Viktor Orban’s 16-year rule in a landslide election in April with a pledge to steer the country in the euro area. The goal is to meet euro criteria by 2030, including by reducing the budget deficit to 3% of gross domestic product from an estimated 7.5% shortfall this year.
花旗集团经济学家皮奥特·卡利什在9月9日的报告中指出，投资者正密切关注明年的预算赤字水平，以此评估政府履行欧元区时间表的决心。据预测，明年匈牙利的预算赤字率有望降至国内生产总值（GDP）的5%至5.5%之间。
Investors are focused on next year’s budget gap to assess the cabinet’s commitment to the euro time-table. The government may narrow the shortfall to between 5% and 5.5% of GDP next year, Citigroup Inc. economist Piotr Kalisz said in a Sept. 9 report.
马加尔强调，政府不会采取紧缩政策，而是致力于消除浪费性开支以缩减赤字。不过他也坦言，上任仅五个月的政府难以一次性满足国内所有社会需求；尽管如此，2027年资金紧张的医疗保健领域的预算仍将增加5000亿福林。
Magyar said the government won’t pursue austerity and will instead seek to eliminate wasteful spending to narrow the shortfall. He cautioned that his five-month-old administration won’t be able to address all of Hungary’s social needs at once, though he said the cash-strapped healthcare sector’s budget would rise by 500 billion forint in 2027.
交通部长戴维·维特齐透露，为节约开支，政府计划从明年4月起终止那份价值730亿美元、为期35年的高速公路特许经营协议。财政部长安德拉斯·卡尔曼周四则表示，政府还将着手审查前任政府签署的其他定价过高的国家合同。
To create savings, the government plans to terminate a $73 billion 35-year motorway concession agreement from April of next year, Transport Minister David Vitezy said. The cabinet plans to target other overpriced state contracts awarded under the previous government, Finance Minister Andras Karman said on Thursday.
马加尔还详细介绍了将于明年实施的一项新财富税政策：对资产超过10亿福林的个人征收1%的税额，对资产超过1000亿福林的个人则征收1.5%的税额。他表示，试图将资金转移至国外的民众还将面临新的出境税。财政部预计，这项财富税每年可带来2000亿福林的财政收入。
Magyar also detailed a new wealth tax that will come into effect next year, which will impose a 1% levy on assets exceeding 1 billion forint and a 1.5% rate above 100 billion forint. Those trying to take their money abroad would be hit by a new exit tax, he said. The Finance Ministry forecasts 200 billion forint in annual revenue from the wealth tax.
