Description
State-owned porcelain maker Hollóház is to receive a Ft 80 million loan from its owner, the State Privatization and Holding Company (ÁPV), mainly to finance a dismissal programme. Hollóház will use the loan for severance pay for 70 to 100 of its 370 staff. Hollóház needed to turn to ÁPV for funding after MKB Bank decided to stop financing it. Hollóház expects to close its financial year with losses of Ft 50 million and sales revenue of Ft 1 billion.
