These wage increases could not be realized without good economic performance and stable financial management, he added. He reminded that the coronavirus epidemic put the economy in danger in addition to health care, including wage increases, which is why the government spent several thousand billion forints on health protection and the protection of the economy. The defense was effective, since the Hungarian economy is growing, and the government is trying to ensure that the employees also benefit from the economic growth, he added.
