Hungary has become one of Europe’s most attractive investment destinations, offering companies a powerful combination of economic stability, strategic positioning, and business-friendly policies. As a member of the European Union, the country provides seamless access to the single market while maintaining a cost-efficient operating environment that supports long-term growth and regional expansion.
One of Hungary’s strongest advantages is its competitive tax system. With a flat 9% corporate income tax - the lowest in the EU - and no withholding taxes on dividends, interest, or royalties, the country offers a highly favorable financial environment for international investors.
Geographically, Hungary sits at the crossroads of major European trade and transport routes. Its modern motorway network and multiple international airports ensure fast and efficient connections to both Western and Eastern Europe, making it an ideal regional hub for manufacturing, logistics, and services.
Hungary’s investment appeal is reinforced by strong performance in foreign direct investment. In 2024 alone, the country attracted €10.3 billion in FDI across 77 projects, creating 18,500 new jobs and strengthening its role as a key industrial and innovation center in Europe.
The country’s balanced and pragmatic economic policy welcomes investors from both East and West, providing a unique advantage in a shifting global investment landscape. Combined with a skilled, multilingual workforce and competitive wage levels, businesses benefit from high productivity at sustainable costs.
Investors also gain access to structured government and EU incentive programs, transparent company setup procedures, and a supportive regulatory framework designed to encourage long-term business success. Beyond economics, Hungary offers a high quality of life, safe urban environments, and growing international communities that make relocation attractive for expatriates and management teams alike.
