During the decades of liberalization, the state played a fundamental role in running the economy, and thereby in maintaining and strengthening the competition that the public interest requires. It included regulation of competition and the market, state subsidies, and state purchases, in other words a range of means of stimulating and restricting competition. This article views the relation between the Hungarian state and competition before the outbreak of the crisis, to compare it with the international and domestic phenomena that began to appear when the crisis broke out. It argues that state behaviour towards competition was also ambivalent before and the crisis has not materially changed the ambiguity or means of intervention, only the combination and scale of means employed. Management of the crisis round the world has generally involved an increase in the role of the state, but the spread and scale of market creation and support in Hungary have remained small. The restraint on stimulation of the economy has lessened the restriction of competition, which may be an advantage in years to come.
