By the turn of the millennium it had also become clear that the resources available until then \u2013 the 1-1,5 billion HUF allocated annually through New Engagement Foundation (\u00daj K\u00e9zfog\u00e1s Alap\u00edtv\u00e1ny) and subsequently, Homeland Fund (Sz\u00fcl\u0151f\u00f6ld Alap) \u2013 had no significant impact on the development of underdeveloped rural regions inhabited by Hungarians.<br \/>\nBy 2014 \u2013 the third Orb\u00e1n government \u2013 the economic and geopolitical framework had changed. The entry of 10-15 large Hungarian companies in neighbouring countries was proposed as an important economic objective. In three neighbouring countries (Ukraine, Romania, Serbia) frequent dysfunctional state infrastructure and a lack of capital in Hungarian-inhabited areas and businesses were increasingly pressing problems. It was realized that Euro-Atlantic integration beyond the nation-state framework could make the Carpathian Basin an interconnected economic and labour market region.<br \/>\nAfter 2010 the largest programme in the framework of Hungarian Government aid policy was in the field of economic development. In 2012 the Ministry for National Economy prepared \u2013 as part of the New Sz\u00e9chenyi Plan \u2013 the Wekerle Plan, a growth strategy for the Hungarian economy on a Carpathian-Basin scale which aims to create an economic space that sees the Carpathian Basin as a single entity with the help of EU development funds. In this context, support for the organisational role of small and medium-sized enterprises in Hungary is crucial, and Hungarians beyond the borders are seen as strategic allies. Key sectors for cooperation include automotive and machinery, food, tourism and health, green economy, creative industries and info-communication. Regional plans were prepared and between 2016 and 2018 HUF 60 billion in economic development aid was provided to minority Hungarian entrepreneurs through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade. This was followed by the launch of a 100-billion-HUF programme for economic development in Transylvania (Romania).<br \/>\nIn Vojvodina (Serbia) the Association of Hungarians of Vojvodina announced in 2013 the elaboration of an economic development programme to counteract the possibility of easier work abroad and emigration due to the possibility of dual citizenship. The Hungarian Government provided HUF 19 billion in funds for the region between 2016 and 2018. In 2014 the Ede Eg\u00e1n Plan for the regional and economic development of the Subcarpathian region (Ukraine) was launched with HUF 15 billion of funding coming to the region between 2016 and 2019. In the framework of the plan 4,500 successful applications received aid up to 2020, helping to establish 3,500 new businesses. The G\u00e1bor Baross Plan was launched in 2014 by the Hungarian Economists\u2019 Association of Slovakia with HUF 4 billion and 1,521 successful applications in 2017. The K\u00f3s K\u00e1roly Plan, the economic development strategy for Transylvania, was prepared in 2016 and launched in 2018 with a pilot programme in the Mez\u0151s\u00e9g Region.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","kezdobetu":[411],"nyelv":[371],"szerzo":[373],"class_list":["post-17407","reo-szocikk","type-reo-szocikk","status-publish","hentry","kezdobetu-e-2","nyelv-en","szerzo-bardi-nandor-2"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reo-szocikk\/17407","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reo-szocikk"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/reo-szocikk"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/reo-szocikk\/17407\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17407"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"kezdobetu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/kezdobetu?post=17407"},{"taxonomy":"nyelv","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/nyelv?post=17407"},{"taxonomy":"szerzo","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/reo.dev.vargadigital.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/szerzo?post=17407"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
