A 2026-os költségvetés-elemzésből
State-linked companies paid 2.4 billion without competitive tender.
2.39 billion forints flows to commercial companies linked to the state as a recurring transfer — without any market test of whether the tasks are done efficiently or at competitive cost.
About 597 Ft per taxpayer per year — 2.39 billion Ft total — to state-linked companies that face no competitive pressure to perform or price efficiently.
Amit látsz — és amit nem
The seen: commercial companies with a guaranteed annual transfer and no need to compete for the work. The unseen: the competitive suppliers who would do the same tasks for less — or not at all, because the task would be found unnecessary at a real market price — if the work went to open tender.
Ellenvetés
"State-linked companies provide reliable continuity for important public tasks."
Válasz
Continuity is a procurement objective, not a reason to bypass competitive tendering. A reliable supplier wins the tender. A recurring block transfer to a connected company, without a price test, is a soft budget constraint: the company's costs are underwritten by the taxpayer regardless of efficiency. Three years replaces the transfer with competitive procurement; if the company is efficient, it wins the work.
Share if you think state contracts should go to the best bid, not to the connected company.

Indoklás
This line funds tasks contracted out to state-linked commercial companies. The structural problem is the soft budget constraint: a commercial company funded by a recurring budget-line transfer rather than by revenue it earns in competitive supply faces no market test of whether the task is performed at a competitive cost, or whether it should be performed at all. The task itself, if genuinely needed, should be procured through open competitive tender where the price is disciplined by rival bids; the company, if viable, should win that tender on its merits.
Átállási mechanizmus
A three-year phase-out (about 796 millió Ft per year) replaces the block transfer with competitive procurement of whatever specified task is genuinely required, protecting the company's in-flight commitments and employees during the transition.
Érintett csoportok
The state-linked company and its employees; the company may re-win the work on competitive terms, in which case the change is in funding discipline, not in who does the work.
