  1. Not like 26th of the 27 – European Union Country’s. /
    Generous rating given Hungary, that I believe is mis-placed to on the “high” side.
    Factually, through simple the growing PRESSURIZATION on the entire Economic & Financial outlook, and “growing” Distillation – of it’s Governance under Democracy, it’s alignment growing with Russia & China, just these MAJOR fact’s alone, MUST be – WOULD be, looking at Hungary as a “new” business location, negatives not Positives.
    Operation costs of Business Practice, rate of Taxes applied to Businesses, and VAT being, the highest of the European Union Member Country’s – mass Trepidation – must EXIST, from those companies and businesses, in positions looking at – to expand look at “new” locations markets to make INVESTMENT.
    Regensburg, in Bavaria, Germany exampled sounder, more opportunistic that Hungary.
