Episode Details

Hungary’s business world is undergoing a seismic shift as billionaire elites tied to Viktor Orban’s era face a new reality under Prime Minister Peter Magyar, who dismantled the old system’s cronyism. With sweeping anti-corruption reforms, a push for transparency, and a move to open public contracts to fair competition, big firms reliant on government favors are forced to pivot—scaling down from massive infrastructure projects to smaller, more competitive ventures. While some adapt with confidence, others risk collapse as foreign investment enters and EU funding demands loom. Magyar’s bold moves—including ousting the president he called Orban’s “puppet”—signal a decisive break from the past, aiming to rebuild Hungary’s economy on merit, not politics.
