Abstract

Hungary has taken an FDI-oriented development path during its transition process. The economy has become highly internationalized and largely controlled by foreign-owned firms, which have contributed much by modernizing production, reorienting markets and transferring expertise. However, the initial surge of development seems to be ending, at least in the form it took in the 1990s. Signs of saturation are visible, and the question now is how to open a new chapter of FDIoriented development. Investment and operation will have to shift towards more sophisticated activities. To effect such changes, Hungary must offer enough qualified labour and an adequate infrastructure. Moreover the investment incentive system needs overhauling, as entry into the EU will outdate otherwise efficient incentives. Efforts must go into organizing the economy according to the National Development Plan, as a backbone for the EU assistance available.
