Wilfried Haslauer, the governor of Salzburg and chairman of the Governor Conference, and Johannes Pressl, President of the Austrian Association, will also be present.

Invitation for media representatives

Media representatives are invited to report, but must present a valid press card. The meeting takes place in the Purpursaal (attic) of the Ministry of Finance at Johannesgasse 5, 1010 Vienna. The focus is on the consolidation of the budget and financial stability in Austria, which is increasingly required.

In order to cope with the challenges of consolidation, experts are called to develop measures that improve the financial situation of the municipalities. A book that deals with consolidation measures for municipalities indicates that it is time to reconcile the scarce resources with the increasing wishes of the residents. It analyzes external burdens of the local finance situation and shows concrete measures that lead to the use of consolidation potential.

practice -oriented solutions and training

The measures contained in the book are practiced in practice and methodologically divided according to tasks. An understandable presentation ensures a logical process, while comprehensive analyzes of household consolidation help readers to take preventive action against difficult budget sites. In addition, it offers professional training and an introduction to consolidation techniques that address both full-time and volunteers.

The meeting in the Ministry of Finance thus represents an important step on the way to a stable financial future for the municipalities and the entire nation. The interdisciplinary approach and the findings from research will make a decisive contribution to finding effective and sustainable solutions.
