U.S. Investments Reach Historic High
2025. 11. 10.
Stable diplomatic relations have brought tangible economic benefits, while key areas of business cooperation between the two countries have further expanded – highlighted István Joó, Government Commissioner, following last week’s Hungarian–U.S. summit. The CEO of HIPA, who was part of the Hungarian government delegation, pointed out that the number of U.S. investment announcements reached an all-time high in 2025.
With the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump, an entirely new era has begun in Hungarian–American relations, and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s visit to Washington marked a historic milestone. With Hungary granted full and indefinite exemption from restrictions on purchasing energy resources from Russia, the Hungarian economy has received a guarantee for stable and affordable operation. At the same time, Hungary continues to strengthen its energy security through diversification: under a new energy cooperation framework, the country will now be able to purchase LNG from the United States. Parallel to this, the Trump Administration lifted all remaining U.S. sanctions related to the Paks II nuclear project.
– István Joó underlined. Between 2014 and the first half of 2025, a total of 145 American investment projects were launched with HIPA’s support, representing a total value of around EUR 2.5 billion.
The Hungarian–U.S. summit held last week also led to expanded investment partnerships. According to HIPA’s CEO, the next key focus areas for American investments will include space technology, telecommunications, defense industry, and artificial intelligence. During his stay, István Joó held forward-looking discussions with companies such as ABBVIE, GE Healthcare, Radian Space, and Voyager.
