Mihály Kupa

Mihály Kupa (3 April 1941 – 2 September 2024) was a Hungarian politician, who served as Minister of Finance between 1990 and 1993.

He finished his studies at the Karl Marx University of Economic Sciences in 1969.

He also worked as a Vice Chairman of the Governing Council of the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) and as Speaker of the International Monetary Fund's and World Bank's General Assembly.

Kupa resigned from his ministerial position and also left the Hungarian Democratic Forum faction in 1993, and served as an independent MP until the next election.

The new party missed the 5% electoral threshold and Kupa stepped back in the second round of the 2002 election.
