Hungary’s trade with Italy has been consistently growing in the past few years. Between 2014 and 2017, the value of bilateral trade grew by 33% from EUR 7.1 billion to EUR 9.5 bln, according to a press release sent to the Budapest Business Journal. Hungary is now Italy’s fourth largest trading partner, ICE Budapest says.
