German car manufacturer BMW is going to build a factory in the eastern Hungarian city of Debrecen.
The minister of foreign affairs and trade, Peter Szijjarto, announced on Tuesday that the factory will have capacity to manufacture 150,000 vehicles a year and will start off with 1,000 employees.
Szijjártó said BMW will take ownership of the site in the second half of next year and will begin recruiting next year.
He said the investment would boost Hungary’s competitiveness and further strengthen Hungarian-German economic relations.
Szijjarto said Hungary’s entry to this competition comes along with low taxes, flexible labour regulation, dual vocational training and high-quality IT and technical training. Investments are growing year after year and last year outperformed with 96 new projects.
The minister said one of the world’s largest and most cutting-edge carmakers decided to increase production capacity in Europe and had chosen Hungary in which to do it, after having considered several European cities over 14 months of weighing the decision.
