Abstract: This paper discusses key findings of the First Review for Hungary under the Stand-By Arrangement. All end-December 2008 quantitative performance criteria and the continuous performance criterion on nonaccumulation of external arrears were met. The structural performance criterion on submission to parliament of a draft support package for domestic banks by November 10, 2008, was observed. The end-December 2008 structural benchmarks of passage of the fiscal responsibility law and submission to parliament of amendments granting the Hungarian Financial Supervision Agency (HFSA) special remedial powers were also observed.
