On 18 February, the Member States’ ministers for economy and finance met in Brussels, where Hungary was represented for the first time by Márton Nagy, Minister for National Economy.
Before the meeting, the minister stressed to journalists the importance of examining whether the global minimum tax, in its current form, would remain viable in preserving or strengthening the competitiveness of the EU. "We have to avoid that big multinational companies leave the European Union and move, for example, to the United States or other countries," he added.
Other issues on the agenda included the economic governance framework, the European Semester 2025 and EU competitiveness.
