Organised by the European Commission in partnership with the Central Bank of Hungary, this national roundtable aims to bring together stakeholders in the field of sustainable energy financing. The aim is to create a dynamic at the national level, which will then be continued by the key stakeholders, and possibly to be followed up through a second roundtable.

The roundtable will devote a significant amount of time to discussions in breakout sessions and interaction between participants in order to discuss the selected topics in depth and to provide recommendations and specific actions to facilitate energy efficiency investment in Hungary.

As to the latest EU strategy development the event will interact with the “European Green Deal Investment Plan” in relation to its three dimensions: Financing (mobilise EU funding), Enabling (providing incentives to unlock and redirect public and private investment), and practical support (provide support to public authorities and project promoters in planning, designing and executing sustainable projects). Further the event will consider how to align COVID-19 economic recovery with the green transition. Learnings from the 2008 financial crisis indicates that green projects create more jobs and lead to increased long-term cost savings, by comparison with traditional fiscal stimulus.
