London-based GlobalCapital has awarded Hungary in two categories for its successful debt management, the finance minister said on Facebook on Tuesday.

Mihály Varga said Hungary had been recognised, for the second successive year, as central and eastern Europe’s “most impressive” bond issuer, while Zoltán Kurali, head of the State Debt Management Centre, was acknowledged as the best expert in the field by GlobalCapital, MTI reports.

The minister pledged further efforts aimed at reducing Hungary’s state debt below 67 percent of GDP next year, “a full 10 percentage points below the European Union average”.

Below is Mr Varga’s Facebook post announcing the good news:
