Szijjártó said that during the past 18-24 months, Hungary’s trade data broke records, which was in part due to the achievements of Procter and Gamble and other foreign economic players, including US companies.

After addressing a conference organised by AmCham and state investment-promotion agency HIPA earlier on Tuesday, Szijjártó told journalists that Procter and Gamble is carrying out two investment projects at the moment which would make Hungary a European production centre for the company and create 250 jobs.
