The Regulatory Regime for Public Services Provided by State-Owned Companies, with Particular Reference to Control

Abstract

The system of managing state property and providing public services was renewed after 2010 in Hungary. As a result of the change in the legal environment and the new regulation, the role of state-owned companies has increased. Today, public services can only be provided through publicly owned companies in almost all sectors. The system of public service tasks was also signifi cantly affected by the introduction and expansion of offi cial price regulation. The economic operation and legality of the companies can be examined by inspections. The transparency of the companies is achieved by publishing these audit experiences and reports. In my study, therefore, I rely heavily on practical experience to present the regulatory cadastre.
