The Hungarian private equity and venture capital market had a successful year says the HVCA in their annual yearbook. The growth of the market continued throughout the year and along with the high number of exits, several acknowledged international PE/VC investors have allocated new capital to Hungary and the Central and Eastern European region. Global investors - which have not previously been active in the region - have also appeared in this market, mainly due to Hungary's EU accession and the favourable development of the PE/VC market.
