The government decided on the steps for abolishing non-university asset management foundations; their tasks go to state bodies. Last year's act on the loan given to avoid the capital's bankruptcy is repealed.
The act amends the act on the Hungarian Development Bank and repeals the 2025 act on the loan to prevent the bankruptcy of the Budapest municipality. According to the justification, the latter is needed for partnership-based cooperation with the capital. MFB may use capital received from EU recovery funds only for EU purposes, based on the prior opinion of a new risk management committee, and must publish clients' names and amounts. No person in a political or government relationship and no lobbyist may be in the management of MFB and its subsidiaries, and board members are appointed for five years. Government resolutions on state sureties in favour of MFB will be public.

The amount is reallocated from the recovery facility appropriation to the Ministry of Economy and Energy. The deadline for the reallocation is 20 July 2026.

The Curia's Municipal Council annulled the part of Markaz village's wastewater decree that required collection of wastewater not collected by public utility only for properties with piped drinking water. Under the law, the municipality must ensure collection of wastewater from every property not connected to the sewer. In practice this affected the village's lakeside holiday area, which has no piped water. The procedure was initiated by the Heves County Government Office.
