I have lived in Hungary for almost a decade now and I still ask myself this question. It is not entirely obvious, actually. If you say ‘Saudi Arabia’ you think oil – If you say China, you might think you latest electronic gadget you bought. But Hungary still draws a black for me.
Two reasons for this, a) I live in the centre of Budapest and do not connect much with the country-side where the ‘real Hungary’ exists, and b) the economy is rather diversified.
Check out this chart and you can see that the Hungarian economy’s biggest chunk is in car manufacturing and auto parts – and this is only about 10% of the economy.
