Hvg is an opposition weekly paper and used to be called Heti Világgazdaság. Its articles are objective and well researched. It is frequently compared with the prestigious British news magazine The Economist. In 2003, the WAZ media group became the majority owner of the stock corporation that publishes the weekly newspaper. In 2014 it handed over its shares to the minority owners - members of the editorial team and management. In 2019 hvg started a paid website by the name hvg360.hu. Hvg.hu also continues to produce free online content.
