S&P Global Ratings said steps toward euro adoption will likely improve the credit quality of Hungary. Incoming Prime Minister Peter Magyar, who won a landslide victory on April 12, pledged to set a target date for joining the single currency. The move could lift the sovereign rating by up to two notches, matching historical upgrades seen in the Baltic states and Croatia.
