Tulajdonosidegen

Tulajdonosidegen is a Hungarian compound term formed from tulajdonos (owner) and idegen (foreign). It describes ownership or control by a foreign person or entity, effectively labeling an asset as foreign-owned. The expression is primarily descriptive and is not a formal legal category on its own.

The term is commonly used in journalism, policy debates, and public discourse about foreign involvement in the economy, real estate, or critical infrastructure. It appears in phrases such as tulajdonosidegen ingatlan (foreign-owned real estate) or tulajdonosidegen vállalat (foreign-owned company). Because it is a label rather than a defined legal status, its connotations can vary with context and tone.

Legal and regulatory context: Foreign ownership of property and businesses is regulated by national and, where applicable, EU rules. Legislation may set restrictions, disclosure requirements, or registration processes for non-residents or non-EU entities. The expression tulajdonosidegen is therefore often used in media and commentary to discuss those regulatory issues or perceived implications for sovereignty, taxation, or national security. It does not, by itself, specify a particular legal category.
