Hungary Forward

Guiding you through the new legal landscape

Hungary is entering a period of significant transformation. Following the change of government in May 2026, a new administration is expected to introduce rapid and wide-ranging legal, tax and institutional reforms aimed at reshaping the country’s economic and regulatory framework. Against this backdrop, we at CMS Budapest aim to keep our clients, foreign investors and companies active in Hungary informed of key legal developments and institutional reforms as they unfold.

At the same time, Hungary faces a critical economic juncture. The new government is under pressure to unlock significant EU funding, restore investor confidence, and address structural economic challenges, while aligning more closely with EU legal standards.

For businesses, this creates a dual reality:

  • A fast-moving and complex legislative landscape, with frequent updates and overlapping rules
  • A window of opportunity, as reforms aim to improve transparency, competitiveness, and access to EU markets

Much like other large-scale regulatory waves seen across Europe, Hungary’s evolving framework will require companies to stay informed, agile and forward-looking. Organisations that can anticipate and adapt to these changes will be better positioned to manage risk and capture new opportunities.

To support businesses navigating this period of intensified legislative activity, CMS Hungary has developed a dedicated hub, designed to provide:

  • real-time monitoring of new and proposed legal and tax measures;
  • clear interpretation of complex and frequently changing legislation; and
  • sector-specific insights across key industries affected by reform.

Our objective is to transform new legislation into practical, decision-ready intelligence for companies operating in or entering the Hungarian market.
