Budapest, February 3 (MTI) – Strategic agreements between large international companies and the Hungarian government have considerably boosted exports and thereby the country’s overall economic performance, foreign trade chief Peter Szijjarto told a press a conference today.
The government has so far concluded strategic partnership agreements with 38 mostly international companies, he said in Zalaszentgrot in western Hungary, at the launch event of Coca Cola Hungary’s bottled mineral water exports.
These partner companies have so far implemented investments worth 650 billion forints (EUR 2.08bn) and created 5,500 new jobs in Hungary, Szijjarto said.
Coca Cola’s exports to Croatia will double the volume of Hungary’s overall mineral water exports, he said.
