I also believe this is an astute move as Szabo is no dummy in this business. I note the following with care :

He was instrumental in the privatization and the strategy related to the capitalization and structure of Hungary's former National Oil Corporation (presently MOL), as well as the landmark listing of the company on domestic and international securities exchanges in 1995.

Although this should not affect the SP right away as many would like but I firmly believe that the above experience will become relevant in the near future. A clear and sound strategic move has been communicated today.
