Matolcsy György, the governor of the Hungarian National Bank, visited the European Central Bank to present the Lámfalussy Award to Christine Lagarde, the ECB president. Lagarde could not attend the annual Lámfalussy conference, so Matolcsy delivered the award on her behalf. The event highlighted the recognition of Lagarde's professional achievements and her efforts towards a stable and sustainable European future. Discussions included the relationship between the ECB and MNB, changes in monetary policy, and future challenges. Lagarde expressed her gratitude for the award. The meeting included MNB officials such as Virág Barnabás and Kandrács Csaba. The award is notable as Lagarde previously led the IMF, which had negotiations with the Hungarian government that did not succeed due to stringent conditions. Teljes cikk (Telex.hu)
