Prime Minister Viktor Orbán highlighted the economic benefits of peace in a video message posted on Facebook on Monday.
"Peace has economic benefits, another reason we have undertaken a peace mission in the past three years," PM Orbán said.
Since the start of preparations by the Russians and Americans for peace talks, PM Orbán said gas prices had fallen 10pc and the forint was firming. He added that it was "only a matter of time" before the forint traded under 400 to the euro.
If things continue on the same trajectory, he said everybody would see that peace brings economic benefits, too.
