According to him, the amount invested in baby bonds has doubled in the last two years, and the interest on the children already exceeds HUF 100 billion through family and state payments.

In the last four months alone, around 13,000 new accounts have been opened and interest is growing towards the end of the year. It is true that

230,000 children already have baby vouchers, but according to the latest statement from the Treasury, about one million children born since December 31, 2005 still do not have a Start account that records the amount of the baby voucher.

Opening an account online can also help them, the Secretary of State noted. Adding that, according to the government, the Hungarian state is the first child born here, supporting families is a central issue. In the case of the baby bond, the state grants a subsidy of ten percent, maximum six thousand guilders each year for the amount paid by parents and relatives, and also pays an extremely favorable interest rate of 6.4 percent in 2020.
