The European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies (EFFAS) is pleased to welcome EFFAS Hungary as an Ordinary Member of the Federation, following the approval of its membership at the EFFAS Annual General Meeting held on 10 June 2026. With this step, the Hungarian society becomes a full voting member of EFFAS.
EFFAS Hungary has worked closely with its long-standing partner, Bankárképző, the International Training Centre for Bankers in Budapest. Through this cooperation, EFFAS programmes and professional education have been made available to the Hungarian financial community, supporting high-quality training in areas such as financial analysis, sustainability, and digital assets.
“We are very pleased to welcome EFFAS Hungary as an Ordinary Member of the Federation. As a voting member, EFFAS Hungary will rightfully take part directly in the decisions that shape our work across Europe.
The work carried out in Hungary, together with Bankárképző, is exactly what EFFAS stands for: professional excellence, international cooperation, and high-quality education for financial analysts across Europe.”

Reconnecting to the European community is a vital topic in Hungary and anyhow our decision is more than just symbolic: we have a mission to increase the attractiveness of the Hungarian capital markets and investment professionals in the eyes of European counterparts"
