About Hungarian Forint (Ft)
The Hungarian Forint (HUF, ISO 4217 code 348, symbol Ft) is the official currency of Hungary, issued by Magyar Nemzeti Bank (MNB, est. 1924). Subdivided into 100 fillér (no longer in circulation since 1999). Banknotes: 500 Ft, 1000 Ft, 2000 Ft, 5000 Ft, 10000 Ft, 20000 Ft (highest denomination); current series features Hungarian historical figures — Ferenc II Rákóczi, István Széchenyi, Ferenc Deák, Mátyás Király, Lajos Kossuth, István Bocskai. Coins: 5 Ft, 10 Ft, 20 Ft, 50 Ft, 100 Ft, 200 Ft. Hungary joined the EU in 2004 with a commitment to eventually adopt the Euro, but has not done so — Hungary has consistently failed to meet Eurozone convergence criteria, particularly the budget deficit and inflation rate thresholds. Under Prime Minister Viktor Orbán (since 2010), Hungary has resisted EU pressure for Euro adoption. The MNB targets 3% CPI inflation ± 1 percentage point. The forint experienced massive depreciation in 2022 (peak inflation 25.7% in January 2023 — the highest in the EU at that time). Hungary is a major auto-manufacturing hub (Audi at Győr, Mercedes at Kecskemét, BMW under construction at Debrecen, Suzuki at Esztergom, BYD planned 2025).
About Georgian Lari (₾)
The Georgian Lari (GEL, ISO 4217 code 981, symbol ₾) is the official currency of Georgia, issued by the National Bank of Georgia (NBG, est. 1991). Subdivided into 100 tetri ('white' in Georgian, historically a silver coin name). Banknotes: ₾5, ₾10, ₾20, ₾50, ₾100, ₾200 (the highest denomination, introduced 2006; current series features Georgian historical figures — Ivane Javakhishvili, Akaki Tsereteli, Ilia Chavchavadze, Queen Tamar of Georgia, Shota Rustaveli, Davit IV the Builder); coins: 1 tetri, 2 tetri, 5 tetri, 10 tetri, 20 tetri, 50 tetri, ₾1, ₾2. The lari replaced the kupon (transitional currency 1993-1995) at GEL1 = 1,000,000 kupons on September 25, 1995. The lari symbol ₾ was officially introduced July 8, 2014 — designed by Malkhaz Shvelidze. Georgia is a small economy (~$25B GDP) but a popular tourist destination (~6 million visitors annually pre-COVID) and has pursued aggressive integration with Western institutions — it has been a NATO Membership Action Plan candidate since 2008 and signed an EU Association Agreement in 2014. NBG targets 3% CPI inflation per the Inflation-Targeting framework.
