Hungary’s Parliament is about to pass a new banking bill to bring in line the banking sector with the needs of its market-based economy. The commercial banks are required to meet Western-style capital requirements, such as equity vs. reserves and risk ratios.

The law does not put any percentage limit on state ownership. However, individual shareholdings are limited to 25 percent.

The law allows broader powers, to the Hungarian Bank Commission, the national Bank of Hungary and the Government in the approval of various activities of banks.

Under the new law the banks are forbidden to mix investment funds and brokerage operations with commercial banking. However they are allowed to set up separate investment subsidiaries.
