The government decided last week to introduce stricter rules for calculating the “total cost of borrowing” (thm) indicator used by Hungarian lenders, government spokesman Domokos Szollar said at a press conference on Wednesday.
Lenders will be required to include third-party costs, such as broker fees, when calculating the indicator from June 11, Mr Szollar said.
