While the Hungarian government has been planning since 2003 to replace the
Hungarian forint with the
euro, as of 2014, there is no target date and the forint is not part of the
European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM II). An economic study in 2008 has found that the adoption of the euro would increase foreign investment in Hungary by 30%, although current governor of the
Hungarian National Bank (MNB) and former Minister of the National Economy
György Matolcsy said they did not want to give up the country's independence regarding corporate tax matters.
