Hungary EcoMin holds new talks with drugmakers

Márton Nagy recently proposed the need to regulate the prices of non-subsidised medicines, and has since begun consulting with industry representatives. Negotiations continued on Monday with Dávid Greskovich (President of MAGYOSZ, the Hungarian Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association), Katalin Szalóki (Director of the Association of Innovative Pharmaceutical Manufacturers), Dávid Sipos (Vice President of MAGYOSZ) and Zsuzsanna Beke (MAGYOSZ board member) in attendance.

The fact that the Economy Minister chose to share the news under the title 'Towards an agreement...' suggests that the parties involved may be reaching an agreement, meaning that

state intervention might not be necessary, as the sector could voluntarily commit to reducing prices to some extent.
