JETRO analyzed and reported on trade and investment relations between Hungary and Japan.
Hungary serves as a strategic hub in Central Europe, with many Japanese companies establishing manufacturing and sales bases there, leading to steady development of bilateral economic relations. Notable trends include expanding Japanese investment in the automotive and electronics industries, and increasing exports of agricultural products and food from Hungary to Japan.
Hungary's geopolitical importance as a gateway to the EU market, excellent human resources with competitive labor costs, and well-developed infrastructure serve as factors promoting Japanese investment. Future deepening of bilateral economic cooperation is expected. Expansion of cooperation in digitalization and green transformation fields, as well as support for overseas expansion of small and medium enterprises, are also positioned as important issues.
