Hungary's parliamentary election on 12 April 2026 has placed the country firmly back in the conversation for international real estate investors. The end of the Orbán era — and the prospect of renewed EU relations, unlocked cohesion funds, and a more stable regulatory environment — makes this a moment worth examining closely. Join Property Forum for a free, expert-led webinar on April 29th to assess what the new political landscape means for real estate investors, occupiers, and developers active in or considering Hungary.
This webinar is free to attend and open to all real estate professionals. Whether you are actively invested in Hungary, monitoring the market from the sidelines, or considering the region for the first time, this is a timely and practical briefing from people who know the market best.
The programme will feature three keynote speakers, followed by a panel discussion, covering a wide range of topics.
From Stagnation to Reset: Hungary's Economic Outlook in a CEE Context
What does the new political mandate mean for Hungary's macroeconomic trajectory? Katarzyna Rzentarzewska, Chief CEE Analyst at Erste Group Research, will place Hungary's outlook in a broader Central and Eastern European context, examining the potential impact of restored EU fund flows, improved investor sentiment, and the structural challenges that a new government will need to address to put the economy back on a sustainable growth path.
Budapest Back on the Board: CRE Investment Trends Overview
Hungary's commercial real estate market enters this political transition with a number of compelling fundamentals — but also with a legacy of underperformance relative to regional peers. Gábor Borbély, Senior Director, Head of Research CEE at CBRE, will present the latest investment data across office, retail, logistics, and hospitality, and outline where the most meaningful opportunities may emerge as market confidence returns.
From Uncertainty to Clarity: Key Real Estate Regulations and What May Change
The past 16 years have produced a series of legislative and regulatory interventions that created significant uncertainty for real estate investors. Dániel Ódor MRICS, Partner at Taylor Wessing Hungary, will walk through the key measures that shaped the investment environment, and assess what a new government might realistically revise, repeal, or replace.
Panel: Back to Budapest? Institutional Investors on the Case for Re-Entering Hungary
Following the presentations, a panel of active investors will share their perspective on Hungary's re-emerging investment case — what it would take to commit capital, which asset classes offer the most attractive entry points, and how Hungary compares with competing destinations in the CEE region. Panellists to be announced shortly.
