Restarting the country will be difficult, a "tough job", but the Hungarian economy will quickly return to levels seen before the crisis, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban told public radio.

Hungary s premier recalled that the implementation of the action plan designed to reboot the economy was already under way.

Small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) can receive an interest-free loan of 10 million forints (nearly €28,000) and families can claim home renovation subsidies. The government began to reintroduce the 13th month pensions and people aged under 25 will enjoy personal income tax relief, PM Orban said.
