Social Partnership - Institutional Foundations Austria is a democratic, "Western-style" federal republic.(1) What distinguishes Austria from other West-European political systems is the scope and influence of its specific form of "social partnership".(2) In contrast to other countries, social partnership in Austria is not just a system of labor management relations or of wage bargaining, but a system of institutionalized cooperation between labor, business and government that is involved in all important aspects of economic and social policy. The Austrian social partnership was formed on a voluntary and informal basis by the Austrian Trade Union Federation and the Chambers of Agriculture, of Commerce, and of Labor to control post-war inflation in the early 1950s.

  • Of 2 Press Release for IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 22, 2018 Austria
    Press Release FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 22, 2018 Austria, IMF renew agreement on Joint Vienna Institute The Joint Vienna Institute (JVI) has been a hallmark of cooperation between the IMF and Austria for 26 years. Today in Washington, DC, Christine Lagarde, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Austrian Minister of Finance Hartwig Löger, Austrian National Bank Governor Ewald Nowotny, and Vice Governor Andreas Ittner signed an agreement to continue the JVI for another four years. “Austrian-IMF cooperation on the JVI affirms the importance Austria attaches to economic policy-oriented capacity development in emerging Europe and Central Asia,” IMF Managing Director Lagarde noted. “The IMF is thankful for Austria’s steady support to JVI.” Finance Minister Löger stressed that “strengthening the capacity of economic institutions results in more effective policies, enabling greater stability and growth. By providing training to public sector officials, Austria is continuing to build strong relations with its neighbors.” Governor Nowotny added that “for more than a quarter century, the JVI has promoted sound macroeconomic policy-making in the region and fostered peer-to-peer exchange amongst central bankers and public officials.” About JVI The JVI is an independent international organization and is the oldest of a global network of IMF-affiliated regional capacity development centers. With the support of a number of international institutions and partners, the JVI provides policy-oriented training mostly to central bankers and public sector officials from countries in Central, Eastern and Southeastern Europe, the Caucasus and Central Asia. It has been helping these countries strengthen their economic institutions and policies and fosters regional cooperation and the development of networks of officials across the region.

  • Meet 21St Austria 2014 Study Trip
    FINAL REPORT STUDY TRIP “Meet 21st AUSTRIA” October 28th-30th, 2014 | Austria www.21st-austria.at Final Report / Study Trip Meet 21st Austria October 2014 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Excellence, innovation, sustainability and performance even in a challenging environment The 21st Austria’s 2014 Study Trip took place in Vienna and Upper Austria at the end of October. Nine investor, media and think tank representatives travelled to Austria for an economic update on the situation in Europe, with a focus on Central and Eastern Europe and Austria in particular. The trip took place during challenging times: The crisis in Ukraine and its economic effects in Central and Eastern Europe are particularly challenging for a number of Austrian banks. Key finding: it is too early to predict an outcome, but a compromise seems likely for 2015. The slowing growth in Europe and especially in Germany affects Austria.Key finding: several factors contribute to a positive economic outlook for Germany, Austria’s most important trading partner, and Europe in 2015. The stress test of the European banking sector. Key finding: solid results and a positive outlook for all Austrian banks due to significant progress in strengthening their balance sheet. Weakened competitive outlook due to energy prices. Key finding: political leaders see the need to balance energy security and competitiveness and corporates have increasingly hedged the development with overseas investments, opening new markets at the same time. Experts from the Peterson Institute for International Economics,
