With the support of the Hungarian Investment Promotion Agency (HIPA), investors committed to 108 projects, bringing €7.069 billion in fresh capital and creating 18,227 new jobs. 

Beyond volume, 2025 signaled a clear move toward higher value-added activity.

By investment volume, Chinaranked first (about €3.97 billion), followed by Singapore (around €794 million), Hungary (about €540 million) and the United States (nearly €480 million). Notably, the 16 U.S. projects represented a historic record and are expected to create 800+ jobs, highlighting the strengthening Hungarian–American investment partnership. 

Sector-wise, investments spanned 17 industries, supporting diversification and resilience across the economy. Electronics led both in capital volume (about €3.88 billion) and job creation (6,232 jobs), followed by automotive(about €1.1 billion, 3,620 jobs) and chemicals (about €819 million), while BSC ranked among the top job creators, underlining the qualitative shift in the investment mix. 

Regional development also remained a priority: more than 84% of supported projects are set to be implemented outside Budapest, with strong momentum in southern counties, including Bács-Kiskun (9 projects), and Csongrád-Csanádand Békés (5 each), supporting more balanced national growth.
