On June 9, 2026, the Government of Hungary launched a public consultation on proposed amendments to Act LIII of 2017 on the prevention and combating of money laundering and terrorism financing (the AML/CTF Act). The proposed amendments represent minor modifications to Hungary's anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing system. The Government is advancing these changes to prepare Hungary for an ongoing international assessment conducted by MONEYVAL, the Council of Europe's financial action task force, which commenced in 2025. The MONEYVAL 6th round country evaluation examines Hungary's compliance with international standards on anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing. The consultation materials include a content summary, draft legislation text, explanatory memorandum, and impact assessment. These documents are available for download from the Government of Hungary's documentation portal. The public consultation period closes on June 16, 2026. Stakeholders and interested parties may submit comments via email during this window. Following the consultation period, the Government will review feedback received and proceed with finalising the legislative proposal for parliamentary consideration.
