Századvég

In 2010, the year Fidesz took power, the Századvég group won no public procurement contracts at all; afterward, government orders began flowing to it continuously - reaching 2 billion forints by 2012, and totaling roughly 12 billion forints in state contracts between 2010 and 2016, mostly with the Hungarian National Bank, the Prime Minister's Office and the National Economy Ministry. Its largest single contract, a 4.8-billion-forint advisory and research commission, came from the National Economy Ministry in November 2015. According to a 2020 444 report, Századvég functions as the government's primary political background institution, producing the surveys underlying government policy decisions and signing multi-billion-forint contracts with the state every year; during a 2020 internal reorganization, board member and co-founder Gábor G. Fodor was sidelined despite formally keeping his title, while financial control passed to Gábor Fűrész, a figure linked to Árpád Habony's circle.
