On Friday in Parliament, Prime Minister Viktor Orbán held talks with members of the US-Hungary Business Council (USHBC), and said that American companies active in Hungary provide jobs to hundreds of thousands of Hungarian citizens.
The parties agreed that the economic cooperation between the US and Hungary is a success story, which is also proven by the fact that the US is Hungary’s second largest non-EU investor.
The total investment value of the 1,600 American companies active in Hungary amounts to more than USD 9 billion. The Government of Hungary has concluded strategic cooperation agreements with ten American companies.
President of AmCham Hungary Ferenc Pongrácz also spoke up at the meeting.
