Government program: Austria's economy!

The new government program, which was presented today, sets a strong signal for the upgrading of the Austria business location. Wolfgang Ecker, President of the WKNÖ, described the program as a "comeback package", which focuses on performance and competitiveness. A central measure is the planned tax reductions for older workers as well as the expansion of tax -free overtime and the increase in the profit allowance. These steps are aimed at strengthening the economy and reducing bureaucracy. The introduction of faster approval procedures and relief in company start -ups are further key points that the Economic Association was able to enforce, report the ots.

The program also includes a clear commitment to Austrian neutrality, as well as a focus on solidarity within the EU. The coalition parties, ÖVP, SPÖ and NEOS, confirm that Austria should remain an “audible voice” for democracy and human rights within the EU. Active measures for cooperation in the EU's common foreign, security and defense policy are planned, including participation in fast intervention capacities. In foreign policy, an increased attitude against irregular migration and a stringent review of EU law is emphasized, which should also serve the de-bureaucratization without giving up the clear attitude of the coalition for nuclear energy, according to the news.

important measures and goals

Another important proposal is the creation of a "real internal market" in areas such as raw materials, energy and capital. In addition, the government is intended to ensure that Austria fulfills its international obligations, in particular through the statutory anchoring of contributions to international organizations. The aim is to increase Austria's international profile through candidacies in important organizations. Bilateral relationships with the USA and Israel are also to be further strengthened, while Austria is also committed to a peaceful solution in the Middle East.
