Austrian central bank head says gov't should take legal steps to block fx-loan repayment plan
National Bank of Austria Governor Ewald Nowotny said on Wednesday that the country's government should utilize all the legal means at its disposal to block Hungary's foreign-currency-denominated mortgage repayment plan announced this week, MTI's Vienna correspondent reported.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán on Monday announced the details of a plan allowing Hungarians with foreign-currency-denominated mortgages to pay back their loans in a single installment at a fixed exchange rate.
Austrian officials have said that the plan poses a threat to Austrian banks.
