The President of the Supervisory Authority for Regulated Activities (SZTFH) has issued Decree No. 6/2026. (VI. 8.) SZTFH, which comprehensively amends certain decrees on the subject of cybersecurity. The explicit intention of the legislator is to ease the situation of enterprises, significantly reduce administrative burdens, and promote market competition in the information technology security sector.

The Decree No. 5/2026 (III. 16.) of the National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH), which entered into force on 20 March 2026, specifically amended Decree No. 4/2024 (III. 21.) of the NMHH governing out-of-court dispute resolution bodies (including the Online Platform Dispute Resolution Council, OPVT). The explicit objective of the amendment was to eliminate the practical obstacles of the previous regulatory framework: to reduce administrative burdens, to accelerate proceedings, and to ensure that the enforcement of users’ rights is free of charge.

The escalation of the global geopolitical situation and the expansion of digital financial solutions have compelled regulatory authorities to respond. On 25 March 2026, the Central Bank of Hungary published its latest Recommendation No. 3/2026, which constitutes a milestone in the field of sanctions screening of fund transfers and crypto-asset transfers. The purpose of the Recommendation is to provide a uniform and stringent framework for the effective implementation of European Union and national restrictive measures.
