A short cultural policy profile for Hungary is now available on the Compendium website. A special thanks go out to our Hungarian expert Péter Inkei.
Below you can see a few highlights of the cultural policy developments in Hungary:
- A law that specifies the changes due to the overhaul of the governmental setup (Act XXIV/2022) contains a detailed specification of the terms and constituents of cultural diplomacy. With this, cultural diplomacy submerges from the legislative vacuum of the preceding few years, and its structure is legally established. Nevertheless, no high-level document specifies its mission and strategic goals.
- The national budget was passed in June 2022 and despite the structural overhaul, most culture-related appropriations were sustained in unchanged wording and often practically unchanged amounts. Sizeable increases appear in the financing of institutions run by local governments and in reserve for the tax benefits for film productions.
