The auto industry employs more than 90,000 people in Hungary. General Motors, Suzuki, Mercedes-Benz and Audi all have a presence in the country, and contribute largely to the economy. Visit some of the largest car and parts manufacturers in the region, and consider how both European and Asian car manufacturers rely on Hungarian skill and efficiency in their own operations.
Though its output has declined over the last decade as technology and other industries have grown, food processing remains a key pillar in Hungary’s economy. Learn how this industry contributes to exports with products like meat, coffee, tea and soft drinks, and explore the power of micro-enterprises in keeping the industry running.
The electronics industry is one of the largest industrial sectors in Hungary, and makes up 22% of all Hungarian manufacturing production. Examine how the growing sector is impacting the Hungarian business climate and gain insight on the trends industry leaders foresee emerging in the coming years.
Since breaking out of Communist rule, Hungary has moved from a centrally planned economy to a market economy, and is currently benefiting from a trade surplus, diversified economy and inclusion in the European production chain. However, the financial crisis of 2008 hit the Hungarian economy hard, and it had to be bailed out by the IMF/EU/World Bank’s assistance program. That relationship eventually crumbled as Budapest rejected EU/IMF policy recommendations. As Hungary works to keep its budget deficit in check and reduce public debt, growing sectors like electronics and a skilled workforce are helping to steady the economy and keep Hungary moving in a positive direction.
