Austria's debt admission decreases: What does that mean for the future?

The Republic of Austria plans to accept less money on the financial markets for 2025 than in the previous year. It is expected that between 43 and 47 billion euros via federal bonds will be generated, which corresponds to a decline compared to 49 billion euros in 2024. According to Markus Stix, the head of the Austrian Federal Financing Agency (OEBFA), the reason for the lower debt admission is mainly in reduced repayments in the coming year. Despite the beginning of the government negotiations that could influence the final budget planning, a certain increase in short -term financing instruments will be forecast.

In addition, in 2025 green federal securities worth around 6 billion euros will be emitted again in order to further increase the proportion of sustainable financing instruments, reports OE24 . In real estate financing, Austria's financial debt has amounted to around 296.3 billion euros by the end of November 2024, and the pressure on the future government to comply with the fiscal rules remains unbroken.

growing drains show de -industrialized tendencies

Meanwhile, the investment data in Germany are worried about economic analysts. As the Institute of German Economy (IW) reports, foreign companies invested only around 22 billion euros in Germany in 2023, which has been the lowest value for a decade. In addition, Germany experienced net drains of 94 billion euros, which indicates a potential de-industrialization. More and more German companies are moving their investments to the EU, with about two thirds of the foreign investments flow into neighboring countries.

Christian Rusche, an economist of the IW, emphasizes that the unreliable political situation in Germany is deterring companies and the investment conditions urgently need to be improved. Otherwise, de -industrialization could accelerate greatly, Rusche continued, which could endanger Germany's future competitiveness. These developments underline the need for rapid political stability and support for the domestic economy to regain foreign investors and to stabilize the economic situation, such as iwkoeln reported.
