Szijjarto: 2021 most successful year since 1990

Last year was the most successful the Hungarian economy has seen since the fall of communism, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto said in Debrecen, eastern Hungary, welcoming the progress of the BMW plant under construction in the city. Last year, the economy expanded by over 7 percent while investments, employment and exports hit record highs, he said on Friday. The year 2022 is expected to bring further success, with many construction works on the agenda. BMW's new plant, a 360 billion forint (EUR 1bn) investment, is slated to start construction works this year, he said.
