I was back in the UK for a few days recently. I’m coordinating the work the UK’s Embassies in Central Europe do in promoting trade opportunities for British business in the region. Within Central Europe the export markets are modest by world standards. But together they make up a market of some 100 million people. And a combined GDP of around 1 trillion Euros.

- 29 Nov 2012 8:00 AM
- sport
By local expat Adri Bruckner: The holidays and winter wouldn’t be complete with a few rounds around a scenic skating rink, and warming up afterwards with a cup of hot chocolate or mulled wine! Budapest has some great places for a skate, all with skate rental, lessons, opportunities to rent rinks for parties, and a good time to be had by all. I think I’ve been to every rink in the city, since I ...

- business
Rating agencies can no longer be taken seriously as they were the ones that suffered the largest loss of credibility during the years of crisis. Having failed to predict the financial crisis, they are a thing of the past now. The future will not depend on them or on speculators, but on countries and production. Instead of credit rating agencies, Hungary has been assessed by investors which have ...
