Economy 

Today, agriculture has almost completely disappeared from the life of the settlement.

The most significant plants of the city were the Power Plant, the Mátravidék Sugar Factories, the Zsófia Mill and the Eternit. Of these, sugar production ceased in 1999, and the site was purchased by Heves Acél Kft. Eternit withdrew its production to its original factory in Nyergesújfalu .

More and more service and commercial facilities are being developed in the city.
