OTP Bank official Szabolcs Korba said during the conference that there are currently 2,500 cases moving through Hungary’s court system regarding foreign-currency loans and leasing agreements. Korba said that verdicts in only six of the sixty such cases that have been already been decided have gone against banks and leasing companies.
Korba noted that these banks and leasing companies have submitted appeals to the Kúria with regard to all six of the decisions against them.
