Pieces of a Puzzle (A Concise Monetary History of the 2008 Hungarian Financial Crisis)

Julia Király ()

Acta Oeconomica, 2018, vol. 68, issue supplement2, 143-163

Abstract: In 2008, Hungary was heavily hit by the global financial crisis, and had to turn to the IMF among the first. The paper analyses the road leading to the post-Lehman liquidity crisis from the point of view of Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB), the central bank of Hungary. Based on the minutes and the press releases* of the Monetary Council (MC), a comprehensive account is given why the puzzle was put together too late.
