MNB chief’s pay linked to average wage

The salary of the governor of the National Bank (MNB) would be capped at ten times the average gross wage according to draft proposals submitted to Parliament.

The government’s 29-point action plan included a proposal to limit the salaries of executives at state-funded bodies at Ft 2 million a month. Current MNB governor András Simor currently earns Ft 8 million.

The deputy MNB governors receive 70-80% of the governor’s wage and monetary council members 35%.

The new regulations would also maximise the monthly salary of the head of the financial supervisory Pszáf at the same level.
