In a shocking twist, it has been reported that the “Hungry-for-int” currency may be getting even weaker! National Bank of Hungary’s deputy governor, Bartholomew Vegetarian (or Barnabas Virag, as he’s known to some) has sounded the alarm bells by announcing a “narrowing interest rate corridor.”
What does this mean for the people of Hungary? Well, if they thought their money was worth close to nothing before, they may want to start using it as actual paper and investing in some high quality mime performances. Even the internationally renowned banking institution, ING, has chimed in, stating that things are looking seriously shaky for the Hungarian forint.
So, what’s the solution? Maybe they could pay their citizens in goulash and paprika? Or perhaps raise some funds by creating a reality TV show where contestants compete to see who can hold on to the most worthless Hungarian forint bills… that sounds like a hit, right?
Either way, we can only hope that Bartholomew Vegetarian (or Barnabas Virag, we honestly can’t keep up) has some tricks up his sleeve to save the struggling Hungarian forint… or at least make some people laugh through this all.
