The layoffs will affect almost 300 of Slovnaft’s 3,600 staff in the coming months, Molnár said. Administrative jobs will account for two-thirds of the total, he added. The layoffs are part of a restructuring necessary because of rising fuel prices and falling demand, he said. The layoffs will not affect investment plans, including the construction of a €204 million polyethylene plant. MOL announced on Friday that it would lay off 700 of its some 10,000 workers in Hungary.
