Jobbik demands govt guarantees for forex debtors

Budapest, January 17 (MTI) – The radical nationalist Jobbik party has called on the government to provide guarantees that holders of car and general-purpose forex loans will not be impacted by any further exchange rate fluctuations.

Deputy Jobbik group leader Daniel Z Karpat told MTI that the government should extend its fixed exchange rate programme from mortgages to those loans “as a temporary solution”. For the long run, Jobbik proposes that all forex loans should be converted to forint-based ones at the rate applied at the time the loan was taken out, the politician said.

Z Karpat said that the current exchange rate fluctuations were affecting tens of thousands of forex loan holders.
