Péter Szijjártó: Investment records broken again this year

“This year Hungary broke investment records again as six and a half billion euros, i.e.. 2600 billion forints, arrived to our country in the form of investments,” announced Péter Szijjártó this past Wednesday via his Facebook page. The Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade added that South Korea was at the top of the investors’ list while Germany created the most jobs.

“When we brought the consequences of the pandemic under control, we were under the impression that we had overcome a difficult period that we would not have to experience again for some time,” he said, adding that unfortunately this was not the case. Since February we all have had to deal with extraordinary challenges due to the war.  

“The European economy is heading towards recession due to the war and the thoroughly flawed sanctions imposed by Brussels,” he declared. He believes that the longer the war lasts and the more sanctions Brussels passes, the more difficult things will get for the European economy.  

“Meanwhile, those who stand to profit off of a spiralling European economy make more and more off of the situation,” he noted.
