The economic role of public sector completely changed during the period following the social transition. It had, however, some antecedents. The economic change-over started with the economic reform in 1968, when the state shifted from the planned-command economy to economic regulation system which increased the proportion of indirect means of economic management and the independence of participants. This process has been accelerated in the 1990s. The privatization has basically put an end to direct economic role, but the influence on the economy has grown due to the greater role of income transfers (subsidies). There are still, however, some areas - primarily the health care, pension system and higher education - where the role of the state is significant and there are intense debates about the transformation of sub-systems. Due to the transformation process, Hungary today is a capitalist market economy, but the judgement of the role of public sector, the demand on it is often as wide as in the socialist era. As regards the quality of public sector, however, the level of countries more developed than Hungary is expected, but the degree of income centralization cannot be increased. The presentation intends to give a review of the processes following the Hungarian social transition, evaluates the changes of role of public sector in the economy and in the social environment which have significant influence on it.

The provision of public goods for the public sector is an increasing burden for the government budgets. Growing social needs and the maintenance of the formerly achieved supply levels further expand the source need. The answer for this was the co-operation based on the partnership of public and private sectors (public-private partnership, hereinafter referred to as PPP). This form of social co-operation is not without any preliminaries, because a number of international examples prove the former existence of the idea. Anyway, it has become conscious and widespread governmental instrument from the 1980s. The Hungarian government had become aware by the early 2000s that there are some modernization objectives within public goods (e.g. development of highway network, reconstruction of higher education institutions, enlargement of their capacities, building of high-priority facilities for cultural purposes, etc.), for which the budget cannot provide financial sources without further considerable indebtedness, but the project is justified for economic or social reasons. The presentation intends to give an overall view of experiences of PPP implementation in Hungary, primarily focusing on the development of higher education dormitory network, and raises questions which can be actually answered only after closing of the projects (in about 20 years).
