Improve credits for the real economy by temporarily providing equity reinforcing loans to the commercial banks in order to compensate Basel III restrictions. 2. A restructuring of Cyprus must not cause any doubt about the safety of bank deposits in any European state. 3. Even Europe is well positioned for exports by differentiation, it is not enough and Europe's 500 requests clear improvements in export financing, especially towards the emerging markets. Chinese competition is not only in pricing, but also in financing.

  • The World After Brexit and Trump WELCOME Free Market Road Show® / 2017-Report
    REPORT 2017 The World after Brexit and Trump WELCOME Free Market Road Show® / 2017-Report Welcome by Sebastian Kurz Itroductury Note by the Austrian Minister for Europe, Integration and Foreign Aff airs for the 2017 Free Market Road Show. The European integration continues to be the biggest contribution to peace and economic prosperity on our continent. In recent years, though, Europe has been faced with many challenges politically as well as economically. To successfully live up to these challenges we need to increase the confi dence of people in the European project and improve again our competitiveness in order to achieve stronger economic growth and combat unemployment. Therefore, attracting businesses and creating jobs remain top priorities. In this context it is key to further promote entrepreneurship and secure a strong manufacturing base combined with a high-performing service sector. Europe and Austria have to do more to facilitate the starting of new businesses and the development of innovative ideas. In doing so, we have to strike a balance in Europe between necessary regulations and economic freedom for entrepreneurship. Free markets are not only a prerequisite for maintaining prosperity and high living standards but they are also an essential contribution to a sustainable social cohesion. It is important to keep this in mind especially in times of growing threats to our security and stability. The challenges lying ahead can only be managed working together. We therefore have to focus on a Europe that is able to achieve results and deliver in priority areas such as security and economic growth. I wish you all interesting and fruitful discussions at the “Free Market Road Show” 2017.

V Europe is suffering from a number of demographic and economic pressures which mean the EU should proceed with caution. V Innovation is of paramount importance to Europe’s future economic growth. Yet EU member states underspend on Research and Development (R&D) and are outperformed by peer nations, with various emerging markets catching up fast. V European societies are ageing and there is an urgent need for new technological solutions to mitigate the economic and fiscal effects.
