It’s no surprise, according to Government Spokesperson Anna Nagy who on Tuesday said the cabinet’s first “semester” has been characterized by dynamic decision making including 80 decrees, 131 rulings and 70 laws. “The goal was to put the economy back on its feet,” Nagy said, highlighting the corporate tax cut, the Szechenyi card and new employment initiatives.

The latter will include up to 8 months’ tax and social security cuts for companies employing “disadvantaged” workers on a 12 month contract, Junior Minister for Employment Policy Sandor Czomba said. He added that employers can now turn to state employment offices, where up to 10,000 employees are available – supported financially and through training.
