A fokozatos importliberalizálás megvalósításának feltételei, lehetősége és várható következményei a magyar gazdaságban

Further gradual import liberalization in Hungary necessitates a comprehensive strategy in which there is a role to play for regulation of foreign trade as well as for financial, price and industrial policy. It is to be reassessed what conditions are required for first a partial, then a gradually full liberalization of western imports to achieve success. The present general economic, institutional and management system in Hungary has a number of traits hindering the evolution of the beneficial effects of import liberalization. The long run strategy of import liberalization would have to incorporate, parallel to import liberalization, a list of institutional changes that would restrict the current demand for imported goods, introduce differentiated protectionism, and correct the domestic price level as well as the relative prices.
