Hungary’s largest lender, OTP Bank, has reached a new milestone in global corporate rankings, breaking into the top 400 of the Forbes Global 2000 for the first time as strong profitability and regional expansion cement its position among CEE’s leading financial institutions.
The 2026 edition of the annual ranking placed OTP 398th among the world’s largest publicly listed companies, while energy group MOL ranked 1,239th, making the two companies Hungary’s only representatives on this year’s list.
Compiled using a weighted assessment of revenue, profit, assets and market capitalization, the Forbes Global 2000 is regarded as one of the most comprehensive measures of corporate scale and financial strength worldwide.
OTP reaches new milestone
The bank improved sufficiently to enter the Global 2000’s top 400 for the first time, supported by another year of record earnings and continued expansion across Central and Eastern Europe.
According to Forbes, OTP generated $14.3 billion in revenue, ranking 993rd globally on sales. It placed 360th for profit, 313th for total assets and 658th for market capitalization.
MOL remains Hungary’s energy champion
MOL retained its place among the world’s largest listed companies despite operating in a significantly more challenging environment for the global energy industry. The integrated oil and gas group ranked 1,239th overall, supported primarily by its scale rather than profitability.
Forbes reported revenue of $25.2 billion, making MOL the 539th-largest company globally by sales. It ranked 1,795th for profit, 1,288th for assets and 1,968th by market value.
