Hungary’s government remaining in power after April’s parliamentary election would help the banking sector continue to operate in a supportive environment, according to Sandor Csanyi, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of OTP Bank Nyrt.
In contrast, a new government would mean "huge" uncertainties for banks, Csanyi, 64, who has been at the helm of Hungary’s biggest lender for more than 25 years, said in a rare interview on political matters on Friday after publishing the bank’s quarterly results.
