Foreign direct investment to Hungary is not expected to total more than two billion euros in 2009, well below the annual average of 3.9 billion, the business daily Vilaggazdasag reported on Tuesday.
According to estimates by the paper, half of that sum could be made up of equity and other dividends, while the other one billion euros could be a total of reinvestment.
Vilaggazdasag also referred to a study by the ICEG European Center, which forecast Hungary’s 2009 FDI between 2-2.5 billion euros.
The All Hungary Media Group is firmly committed to freedom of expression and therefore applies a mostly "hands off" approach to comment moderation. Comments left by readers represent their own views and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or beliefs of the staff, editors or owner of the All Hungary Media Group, who nonetheless reserve the right to remove comments that are off-topic or which moderators consider to constitute "hate speech." Also note that in order to prevent spam we generally close entries off to comments several days after publication.
Note that we will be experimenting with some modifications to the commenting system over the coming days, with the aim of allowing users to post without a CAPTCHA system and other manual anti-spam gizmos. We will therefore be monitoring comments more closely, and if you have any related issues or observations, you can just leave them in a comment on any article.
