The Magyar Nemzeti Bank ascribes great importance to making available for the wider public central bank analyses which deal with various economic and financial developments of general interest. This publication is the first issue of the third volume of the MNB Bulletin and contains five articles. Two of the studies presented herein discuss the global and domestic impacts of the US sub-prime crisis, as well as the tightening of liquidity on the financial markets; while each of the remaining articles deals with a current issue of the Hungarian economy, such as tax avoidance and tax changes, the impact of fiscal policy on economic growth and the structure of external financing.
