Hungary was one of the earliest to open up its economy in the 1990's with a massive privatisation of its assets. Following privatisation, its developing economy and the EU accession in 2004 gave a new boost to reviving interest in the Hungarian market. Hungary has been not only an attractive M&A target market, it has also become an important acquirer nation itself in the CEE and SEE region.
As this did not couple with cautious macroeconomic leadership, the global crisis took heavy toll on Hungary. It is now to be seen if favourable global economic environment will support the country’s ambitious fiscal measures and reorganisation steps to successfully redirect the economy to a sustainable growth path and to regain its strong position in the CEE region.
