It's taken a precipitous decline of Hungary's forint...and a steep increase on its bond yields... to 9.96%...to get government officials willing to discuss its controversial central bank law...

He says the nation has enough reserves to meet debt rollover...for Q1.
But Orban's game of 'chicken' with the EU over c.bank control...may be nearing an end.
