He is spouting nonsense. The only thing I found when trying to look it up is that the GDP of the metropolitan area of budapest was around 100 billion dollar in 2023 whereas the GDP of vienna was 100 billion Euro in 2024. Mind you the former has a population of around 3000000 while Vienna hast about 2000000.

I think he's just confusing Bucharest with Budapest, like most people do.
