She noted that under the scheme launched in January, the government is offering to cover up to half of home renovation costs, with a grant capped at 3 million forints, for families with at least one child.

Families may take out a subsidised loan to cover the other half of project costs. Families have so far carried out renovations worth a combined 277 billion forints with the help of the subsidies, Novák added.
