Hungary, through the INVESTMENTS made by Germany in the Car Industry – cheap investments, mainly through CHEAP labour costs, and in the BIG Picture of external Investments by Germany, would be recorded as “low risk” = cost set up reason(s).
Hungary, will, if the Political in-stability of Germany, pre February 2025 and post, through the Chancellor, setting that time, for a “snap” General Election in Germany, taking also into account, the on-going Russian War on the Ukraine, and Orbans “brother in arms” – Donald J. Trump, returning, in that time frame, for a second “coming”- in the Oval Office, as the President of the United States of America.
France – Politically dis-stabilized, is another “force” to reason with, that just paints a picture, exposing Hungary, in its NEED to have numbers employed in the Car Industry.
Hungary, we know the cataclysmic MESS of its Economy, and growing ANGST being rightly FIRED at the Orban led Fidesz Government, for DELIVERING Hungary to the state of CHAOS factually we are in, which paints a picture, the HIGH probability, that Hungary will be a loser, caught in a re-actioning “cross fire” position, that “bears witness” – that Hungary becomes a “Sacrificial Lamb”.
China – largest export market of the German car industry – broadsheet, still HOVERS – not near performing to GDP expectations as NEEDED to image them, on the turn, there Economy – returning to a strong growth pattern.
Hungary – sits in a VERY precarious PLACE.
