Hungary borrowed one billion euros ($1.1 billion) from Chinese banks earlier this year, its debt management agency said on Thursday (25 July), as the EU member state faces a difficult financial situation.

The Hungarian government did not announce the deal, which was first reported by the local financial news site Portfolio based on publicly available data.

Budapest took out a three-year, floating-rate loan from Chinese banks on 19 April, data on the Hungarian Government Debt Management Agency’s website showed.

“The one-billion-euro loan agreement with the China Development Bank, the Export-Import Bank of China and the Hungarian branch of the Bank of China Limited will finance infrastructure and energy development, among other projects,” the agency told AFP in a statement.
