Energy subsidies cost Ft 5trn in three years
The government has spent Ft 5 trillion on subsidising energy costs for various companies and institutions since the end of 2022, more than on national defence and policing, Népszava reports.
The subsidies cost the government Ft 800 million in 2022, Ft 2.4 trillion in 2023 and Ft 1.3 trillion in 2024.
The total family allowances paid out in that time barely exceed half of the amounts spent on utility subsidies, the newspaper adds.
