Former communist countries in Europe faced difficult choices over the past 15 years as they moved from centrally planned economies to market economies. The Hungarian transformation provides an interesting case for analysis because of its relative success. This analysis focuses on the Hungarian insurance sector as one part of Hungary's successful economic transition and integration from a centrally planned economy to a market economy. The transition of the Hungarian insurance market presents a thought-provoking case of revolutionary change from a bureaucratic monopoly with inefficient performance to a competitive, albeit oligopolistic, insurance market.

Under the Maastricht Treaty of 1992, a single currency called the "euro" was adopted, and economic criteria for membership in the European Monetary Union were established. The objectives of the Maastricht Treaty were to eliminate the costs connected with several European currencies, increase both currency and international stability, and stimulate economic growth and employment with a more efficient single market and European integration. The individual Member States and the European Union as a whole would benefit with free circulation of goods, services, people, and capital among the Member States ("What is," n.d., p. 2-3). On January 1, 1999, eleven of the fifteen existing European Union (EU) Member States joined the EMU: Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Lux...

The study carries out a review of theoretical and methodological possibility to identify and build a minimal (consistent and complete) list of criteria for real economic convergence aimed at to assess the status of real economic convergence in the European Union. The essence of the study is to identify the necessary and sufficient predicates of macro-economic indicators that allow us to qualify them as criteria for real economic convergence. In the end, some methodological issues are developed and applied. To be sure on the accuracy of research, the sufficient predicates are examined concerning their independence, consistency and completeness. Based on these predicates, thorough examinations of the correlation between the process of real convergence and the nominal convergence is carrie...
