közszektorhoz

közszektorhoz is the directional form of the noun közszektor in Hungarian, formed by adding the suffix -hoz. It expresses movement toward or affiliation with the public sector. In usage, -hoz marks a target or reference point, so phrases such as tartozik a közszektorhoz (belongs to the public sector) or fordul a közszektorhoz (turns to the public sector) are common. The form is typically used with verbs that indicate belonging, turning, or connecting.

közszektor refers to the sector of the economy and public administration that is controlled, funded, or managed by the state or by local authorities. It encompasses government ministries, regional and local administrations, public services such as education and health care, and state-owned enterprises. The közszektor is usually contrasted with the private sector (magánszektor) and the third sector (nonprofit and civil society organizations) in economic and policy discussions. In Hungarian discourse, the term is frequently used when discussing ownership, funding, governance, or service delivery.

Usage notes and examples help clarify meaning. For example: "A cég a közszektorhoz tartozik." (The company belongs to the public sector.) "A beruházás a közszektorhoz tartozó intézmények számára készül." (The investment is intended for public-sector institutions.) "A kormány a közszektorhoz fordul segítségért." (The government turns to the public sector for help.) Because közszektorhoz is a directional form, its meaning depends on the verb and context, indicating either affiliation with the public sector or a response directed at it.
