From the welfare-system-transformation to the convergence programme – 6. The view business actors

István Fekete, SB-Chairman of the Joint Venture Association: „Starting point for me is the JVA’s document of 2002 about the JVA-members’ expectations fixed in regard to the (at that time new) Government. One of them concerned the general anticipation of investors, to give preference to added value in place of law wages. Balanced relations to neighbouring countries were expected: the Government has achieved a lot in this regard. We wished the extent of centralising and redistribution to be reduced. There are tokens in this direction, but no break through yet. The same goes for the required reduction of tax- and contribution burdens of the business sector. We would also prefer the decisive improvement of the investment climate: the concept is available, there is going to be a one-stop-arrangement, etc., but more efforts are needed to make it work. Business risks, disturbing factors in the investment environment should have to be hindered more effectively – particularly in the first years of the government cycle. Measures to raise the living standard clearly knocked so much needed efficiency. The process of abolishing business tax proceeds very sluggishly. Progress is made in the field of vocational training – results will have to show. The JVA is invariably looking at the running public service reform as a particularly significant issue.”
