Hungary and Slovakia: Matched Savings Initiatives
Global Asset Building

Two asset-based matched savings initiatives underway in Southern Hungary and eastern Slovakia are three-year asset-building pilot programs focusing on the rural poor with the goal of encouraging low-income families to save for assets that will pave the way to a better life. The initiatives were modeled after CSD’s asset-building pilot projects in the U.S. and abroad.
