On the day before his arrest, György Matolcsy was still covering himself with the HUF 600 billion dividend of the MNB.

György Matolcsy, the head of Hungary's central bank, addressed questions about the allocation of 266.5 billion HUF to foundations instead of hospital construction. He stated that the bank cannot build hospitals but can contribute profits to the state budget for such projects. Matolcsy highlighted that the bank has paid 600 billion HUF to the budget during his tenure. However, the bank has faced significant losses, with a capital deficit of nearly 3.3 trillion HUF. The central bank's operations under negative capital raise concerns about its financial stability. Investigations are ongoing regarding potential mismanagement and misuse of funds related to the foundations, with allegations of impropriety involving Matolcsy's son.
