The ranking of top financial centres in central and eastern Europe (CEE) according to their foreign direct investment (FDI) appeal in the 12 months to February 2015, looks rather different from a year earlier.
Budapest, which did not appear among the previous top five, is the new leader, according to estimates by database fDi Intelligence. Three projects valued at a total of $100.8m reached the Hungarian capital over that period; investments came from US group Broad Street Capital, Bank of China and Cyprus-headquartered XM.com, a provider of financial services for online trading.
