The Ministry of National Economy's micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) funding tender for job creation development projects contributes not only to the creation of 6500 new jobs, but also to the retention of 13 thousand existing workplaces, Sándor Czomba said on Thursday in Pécs.

The Ministry of National Economy's Minister of State for Employment Policy took part in a ceremony to mark the signing of a funding agreement with Haico Ltd., and stressed: the 13 billion forints assigned to SMEs is the largest sum to have been earmarked for job creation within a tender since the fall of communism.

Haico is a German-owned company that primarily manufactures plastic products for the automotive industry.
