Within the framework of the 36 billion HUF project, the German department store chain Lidl has opened a new logistics center to serve its stores in Ecser, Budapest and its surroundings. The state provided 1.2 billion HUF in support to the new center, thus contributing to the creation of 413 new jobs, the Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Péter Szijjártó announced in Ecser on Friday.

In his speech the minister stressed that the coronavirus pandemic has significantly slowed the pace of investment worldwide, with a 42 percent drop in direct capital investment globally and a number of development decisions postponed.

He added that, in the meantime, the Hungarian investment promotion system was able to show serious success, as the value of investments in Hungary last year reached a record with 1,886 billion HUF. (MTI)
