Title: Small and Medium Sized Enterprises in Hungary
Abstract: One of the important issues facing CEECs in the transformation from centrally planned to market economies is the need to develop SMEs. The potential role of SMEs includes generating employment and thereby possibly absorbing labour surpluses which result from economic restructuring, contributing to the development of a competitive economy with diversified structures, and being a source of innovation. Data for the European Union (EU) illustrates the important contribution of SMEs: They account for 99 per cent of all enterprises, 66 per cent of employment and turnover. In Central and Eastern Europe rapid progress with transformation was accompanied in most countries by a rapidly evolving private sector including SMEs due to privatisation and the formation of new firms.
