Two new animal sculptures by artist Miklós Szőke were installed in front of the Budapest Stock Exchange, commissioned by the Hungarian National Bank five years ago for 197 million HUF. The bear and bull sculptures symbolize market dynamics and were finally completed after a long delay. Szőke, known for his previous works including a statue of the Wonder Stag, has seen significant financial success with his company, generating substantial profits. Questions have been sent to the Hungarian National Bank regarding the rationale behind the installation, and further updates will follow.
