Untiring Miklós Pulai, who died last year at the age of 94, will be remembered among the great minds of Hungarian economic and banking history for his outstanding professional achievements. He played a decisive role in the establishment of the two-tier banking system operating under market conditions. Part of his work as a banker was linked to the Hungarian Banking Association as its secretary general right from its foundation in 1989 till 2000, while he helped its activities almost until his death. This paper is to honour Miklós Pulai’s contribution to the activities of the Hungarian Banking Association. To understand it, the importance of his achievements we must give a brief overview of the economic and social context and the processes he was an active formative participant in.
