Despite the economic difficulties of recent years, Jászberény has continued to grow and has been able to invest in the necessary infrastructure. At the same time, more and more firms have chosen Jászberény as a centre for their operations. However, Jászberény not only values economic growth but has also developed into a cultural centre of national renown. In 1995, the two hundred and fiftieth Anniversary of the Act of Salvation was celebrated in Jászberény with the President of Hungary as guest of honour as well as numerous foreign dignitaries.
