With the baby expecting subsidy, families have so far received HUF 2400 billion of government support. The subsidy is popular across the country, with high demand regardless of the size, location and income of the people living in the communities. To further help, the government has granted an extension until 1 July 2026 for couples who have taken the subsidy in the first two years following its introduction but have not yet had the expected child.
