CEO Boardroom Meeting Roundtable, February 18. 2025

This podcast is a recording of a roundtable discussion at our latest CEO Boardroom Meeting, held on Tuesday, February 18, 2025, at the Matild Palace Hotel.

The panel discussion is part of our ongoing series examining the critical factors driving the markets and the Hungarian economy in the months ahead. The themes covered this time include the potential impact of "Trump Tariffs" on global, and, therefore, European and Hungarian trade, the GDP outlook for Hungary, any potential peace dividend from an end to Russia's war in Ukraine, putative timetables for Hungary joining the euro, and the significance of ESG reporting becoming mandatory for large listed companies this year.

Our expert panelists for this event were Rezső Rózsai, CEO of KPMG Hungary, and Barnabás Virág, deputy governor of the National Bank of Hungary. The moderator was Robin Marshall, the editor-in-chief of the Budapest Business Journal.
