Szijjártó said he had met with the managers of companies such as GE, Citibank, Delphi and Oracle during a visit to Washington a week earlier and “it felt good to hear about their satisfaction with the business environment”. He conceded that some companies in Hungary have a bigger burden to carry because of the government measures to more equitably share the public burden and noted Brussels opposition on the matter.
But he said the “decisive majority of companies, especially those operating in production, are satisfied with their surroundings”. “When Opel, Mercedes or Audi launch an expansion of production in a country, we can’t say that there is a lack of investor confidence,” he added.
