This has already resulted in a strong forint, foreshadowing the prospect of irreversible appreciation with the future introduction of the Hungarian euro. A strong forint today and an irrevocably fixed euro exchange rate in the future may be regarded as either favourable or unfavourable developments, depending on one&#8217;s perspective, although their effects are far from uniform across economic actors. For consumers, the benefits may include cheaper imports, more affordable foreign travel and lower inflation, while export-oriented companies may see their profitability decline. From the perspective of government financing, a more stable exchange rate and lower inflation could create a more favourable interest rate environment. Appreciation may pose a significant competitiveness challenge for export-oriented industries and, in particular, for services that rely on foreign demand. The conference will examine expectations surrounding the future introduction of the Hungarian euro, primarily from the perspective of manufacturing companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The opening keynote address will be delivered by <strong>Gergely Tardos<\/strong>, CEO of the Government Debt Management Agency.
