New chairman of the banking industry: Höllerer in Austria 1 Journal!
Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On December 14, 2024, Michael Höllerer, the new chairman of the federal division Bank and insurance of the Austria (WKÖ) Chamber of Commerce (WKÖ) and general director of the Raiffeisenlandesbank Niederösterreich-Wien, will be a guest in the “lunchtime Journal” of Austria 1. This appearance is an important step in his new function, which he has held since September 15, 2024 when he succeeded Willi Cernko, who has been conducting the office since August 2022, as the Chamber of Commerce reports.
In his role, Höllerer sees the competitiveness and performance of the banking and insurance industry as central topics. He emphasizes the importance of the industry for the financial infrastructure of Austria and announced that they decidedly represent the interests of the industry. "The domestic banking and insurance industry is very customer-oriented and is firmly anchored throughout Germany," he said. At the same time, he calls for a rethink in the political discussion to reduce bureaucracy and promote performance. "More bureaucracy for banks, insurance and funds always means more costs and much more small print for customers," says Höllerer.Customer orientation and challenges
The financial industry faces several challenges, including digitization, climate transformation and global competition. "My central task as a division chairman is to represent the interests of the industry together with the team of the division conference," said Höller. He emphasizes that regulation must be more oriented towards performance in order not to endanger competitiveness. A new anti-gold plating law is urgently necessary so as not to bury the EU provisions and to improve the competitive situation.
In addition, Höller sees the insurance industry as an important partner in pension provision and in the protection of the prosperity of the citizens. "The Austrian banks and insurance companies are proven partners for everyone. They will do everything they can to support the best possible support in the damage to the damage and the relief of human suffering," says Höllerer. The goals he sketched include the strengthening of the financial basis of Austria and ensuring competitive framework conditions for future challenges.
