The utility price protection fund will be eliminated, but reduced utility prices will remain. Next year's budget is a new economic policy budget based on the policy of economic neutrality. The government's household utility price protection fund will be abolished, but reduced utility prices will remain. Measures supporting the state-sponsored utility price reduction scheme will continue to be guaranteed for local governments, businesses, and families through the allocated budgets of various ministries, Finance Minister Mihaly Varga told Hungary's public Kossuth Radio on Sunday.
