The top 100 biggest Hungarian businesses
Change language:
This year too, Forbes.hu compiled their list of the 100 most valuable purely Hungarian businesses. It was a good year for the Hungarian economy; as two-thirds of the listed businesses worth more than a year ago.
This is the second occasion that Forbes.hu appraised the 100 most valuable businesses entirely in Hungarian ownership. The total value of the top businesses has increased compared to the previous year.
The increase is significant;
from last year’s 6.36 Billion € (2035 Billion Ft) it increased to 8.71 Billion € (2788.2 Billion Ft). These businesses supply workplace to over 60.000 people, and their total income was over 17 Billion € (5444.2 Ft).
In contrast to last year’s division by county, Zala county is not represented by any businesses this year, but similar to last year, neither Nógrád nor Somogy county seats any of the top 100 enterprises.
Videoton Holding remained as the leader,
but there are some new enterprises among the runner-ups. This year Forbes.hu merged the groups together and used consolidated data where it was available, and where there were no consolidated data, they summed up the data themselves from publicly available information. The main criterion was not that these businesses need to be registered in Hungary, but rather that their ownership is entirely in the hands of Hungarian private individuals.
