Jones said most of the stores to be closed are outside of the capital of Budapest, but one is a Tesco Express in Budapest’s District VIII.
On January 7, Tesco said it was anticipating the layoffs of 500-600 employees as a result of new legislation that has placed a heavy burden on retailers, primarily the supervisory fee that grew 60-fold, Hungarian daily Magyar Nemzet reported.
Producing journalism that is worthy of the name is a costly business. For over 30 years, the publishers, editors and reporters of the Budapest Business Journal have striven to bring you business news that works, information that you can trust, that is factual, accurate and presented without fear or favor.Newspaper organizations across the globe have struggled to find a business model that allows them to continue to excel, without compromising their ability to perform. Most recently, some have experimented with the idea of involving their most important stakeholders, their readers.
