Hungary FM Announces Major Investment

Four hundred new, highly skilled jobs will be created in Budapest as Janus Henderson—one of the world’s most significant asset managers—establishes its largest European Union hub and its first center in the region, Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto announced in Budapest on Thursday, according to a ministry statement.

He also recalled that once these large production capacities were established, the next goal became a shift in the dimension of the economy—raising added value and technological standards, strengthening research and development content, and attracting as many jobs as possible to Hungary that specifically require and expect high qualifications.

As a result, Hungary has become the most attractive destination in the region for business service centers, where major international companies locate their global functions — from finance and IT all the way to engineering.

– “These investments provide excellent career opportunities for talented young Hungarians who speak foreign languages and have higher education degrees. Today, 245 such service centers operate in Hungary. They employ a total of 118,000 people, whose average age is 35, and 81 percent of them hold higher education degrees,” he foreign minister concluded.
