PM’s office: EU report on Hungarians’ digital competencies inaccurate
Budapest, March 7 (MTI) – The European Union’s recent report on Hungary’s digital economy and society (DESI) “does not reflect the political, regulatory or development policy achievements of the past year”, the prime minister’s cabinet office said in a statement on Tuesday.
Concerning the report, which put Hungary 21st place among EU members, one place down from 2016, the office said in a statement that the document was compiled based on “obsolete” information from 2015 or even earlier.

Authors of the statement noted that the EU report praised Hungary for its level of connectivity, due to the widespread use of NGA and 4G. They referred to the government’s Digital Welfare program, which they said had been designed to put Hungary “in the forefront of European countries in the digital transformation race”.
The government program aims to prepare Hungary’s education system “for the digital world” as well as help improve the skills of both small and medium-size companies and their employees, the statement said, adding that the results of those measures are expected to show in the EU’S DESI reports in coming years.
