Israeli exports to Hungary in 2006 totaled US$97.3 millions while imports totaled US$399.1 million.
In an interview given last week, the Israeli Ambassador to Hungary H.E. Mr. David Admon noted that Hungary has become highly attractive to Israeli investors mainly due to its favorable geographic location in central Europe, a location which is ideal for distribution centers to nearby countries.
