On the eve of his arrest, György Matolcsy was still trying to explain why they did not build a hospital instead of establishing foundations.

Former central bank governor György Matolcsy discusses in his vlog why the bank's profits were allocated to foundations instead of building hospitals. He emphasizes that while the central bank's funds are public money, they originate from financial transactions, not taxes. Matolcsy highlights that between 2016 and 2021, the bank contributed 600 billion HUF to the budget as dividends, noting that this amount exceeds contributions since the 1990 regime change. He argues that while the bank couldn't build a hospital, the government could have used these dividends for such purposes. The allocation to foundations was aimed at supporting economic education and knowledge in Hungary.
