Hungary - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hungarian sovereign debt was upgraded in 2000 to the second-highest rating among all the Central European transition economies. Hungarian cuisine is also a prominent feature of Hungarian culture, with traditional dishes such as goulash a main feature of the Hungarian diet. Hungarians are also known for their prowess at water sports, mainly swimming, water polo and canoeing; this can be said to be surprising at first, due to Hungary being landlocked. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Hungary   (3099 words)

Hungarian forint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Between 1857 and 1892, the forint was the name used in Hungarian for the currency of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, known in German as the Austro-Hungarian gulden or Austrian florin. The forint was reintroduced on 1 August 1946, after the 1945-1946 hyperinflation of the pengő. The process was managed by the Hungarian communist party, which held the relevant ministry seats and the forint's success was exploited for political gains, contributing to the 1948-49 communist take-over of state powers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Forint   (723 words)

Bankintroductions.com - HUNGARY During the early 1990's, the forint was a soft currency that could have collapsed at anytime as significant depreciations took place in the forint's value as Hungary had few quality products to sell to the world community as the nation was technically in a depression. During 1998, the Hungarian economy was vulnerable to external economic shocks and was negatively impacted by the Russian economic crisis. Hungarian nuclear energy accounts for approximately 35 percent of domestic energy capacity with the goal of obtaining 50 percent level. www.bankintroductions.com /hungary.html   (1505 words)

The Hungarian Quarterly, VOLUME XLII * No. 163 * Autumn 2001 The forint, when introduced as a currency in 1946, replacing the pengoy after an unprecedented hyperinflation, could be converted at most as an arithmetical exercise. One forint was declared to have the value of 0.07575 grammes of gold, and hence it followed (via the gold standard of other currencies) that a US dollar was valued at HUF 11.7, a Deutschmark at HUF 0.12, a Schilling at HUF 0.17, and a pound at HUF 29.3. Hungarian citizens can receive in their foreign currency accounts incomes from businesses registered abroad, from foreign securities and the selling or use of property abroad. www.hungarianquarterly.com /no163/3.html   (2318 words)

Only one large bank (Hungarian Commercial and Credit Bank, which is in the process of being privatized), and two small banks (Agriculture Bank, to be privatized late summer/fall 1997 and Money Institute Center, to be privatized in the fall of 1997), are state-owned. In conjunction with the austerity measures introduced in March 1995, the government of Hungary devalued the forint by 9% and moved to a crawling peg exchange rate policy. www.mac.doc.gov /tcc/data/commerce_html/countries/Countries2/Hungary/CountryCommercial/1998/TradeandProject.html   (782 words)
