The government of Hungary will transfer pension fund assets to reduce public debt, Reuters reports. Mandatory private pension funds, which have been effectively renationalized, will provide about $7.2 billion to cut debt, adds Economic Times. The public debt is expected to fall by 4% to 77% of GDP after the fund transfer. The government will also take further steps to reduce public debt.
