International relations
The Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB) lays special emphasis on its international relations and on participation in the professional forums of international economic institutions and financial organisations (EU, IMF, OECD, BIS). EU integration is of high priority for the MNB, so the accession to the European Union had great importance in the life of the institution. At present, the work of the MNB is mainly determined by carrying out the duties resulting from EU membership at a high professional level, and by getting prepared for the prospective entry to the euro area.
