From the creative point of you the national situation isn’t too promising. At the
present even the Central Statistic Office doesn’t collect data, which is
appropriate for a creative industrial survey, the latest data is from 2002. The
latest data are supplied by the GFKI (according to the CSO data) and by the
Cultural Innovation Competence Centre (based on TEÁOR) – locally.
According to the CSO data the summarized added value of the creative
industries equals 987 billions of HUF in 2002, which was the 6,7% of the GDP.
The 7% of total number of employment in the country comes from the
creative industries. The national situation is equals to the Capital’s
concentration though, the provincial creative industrial bases producing a
very low figure, and contribute to the GDP and to the employment rate
marginally. In the ECHO magazine at the issue of October 2005 Mr. Zsolt
Szokolay an expert of the field examined the number of the people
employed in the creative sector and its position. According to his survey
approximately 4000 persons are engaged in the Creative sector at the time of
writing. The concentration of the creative class – which is so important for the
development of the creative industry – is rather low in the Southern
Transdanubia, and the added value is lower than the national average.
