Carinthia is faced with change: this is how we secure our economic future!

The economic situation in Carinthia is tense and contains challenges that need to be overcome. As Jürgen Mandl, the President of the Chamber of Commerce, emphasizes, the Carinthian business location is facing a decisive turning point. A dangerous combination of missed opportunities, social changes and tightened economic conditions endangers the usual business and lifestyle. Mandl warns that a loss of prosperity and value creation threatens if it is not acted immediately. This critical situation is reflected in the exporting industries that already suffer from the estate inquiries in Germany, Italy and Slovenia, according to the analysis that was published on ots.at

urgent need for action for the economy

In order to counteract the impending economic stagnation, Carinthian economic management and the Chamber of Commerce have decided on a comprehensive 5-point export package, which was presented during an export summit. State Councilor Sebastian Schuschnig said that the added value for Carinthia, created outside the country continues to play a fundamental role and that the competitiveness of the location is now necessary. The essential measures include the increase in funds for export funding to one million euros annually, which is not an easy undertaking in view of the current budget situation. Shuschnig also called for a strong commitment of the future federal government to conquer new markets and to secure jobs in the long term, as on ktnvp.at was reported.

The planned initiatives should also provide a realignment of the country's focus in the export strategy. In view of the weak economic growth in important target markets such as Germany, this is particularly alarming. In addition, there should also be new training courses for companies to facilitate export abroad. Mandl emphasizes that all measures have to go hand in hand with a sustainable approach to promote the innovative strength of the Carinthian companies and maintain international competitiveness.
