The Hungarian government has implemented several budgetary adjustments and subsidy distributions. On October 20, 2026, authorities reallocated over 4.1 billion forints from the Central Residual Settlement Fund. These adjustments directed funds toward disaster management, social and child protection, the Bethlen Gábor Fund, and sustainability tasks. Additionally, nearly 589 million forints were transferred from education support to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Culture to bolster minority support.

By October 23, 2026, the Budapest municipality received a 30 billion forint state subsidy. This amount followed a government agreement where an initial 120 billion forint promise was reduced by a 90 billion forint solidarity contribution. Ambrus Kiss, Director General of the Mayor's Office, indicated that the receipt of these funds would lead to the termination of lawsuits regarding the solidarity contribution scale, noting that the system must be established on “new foundations” per previous Constitutional Court decisions.
