KoralMahn: Hope or illusion for the Carinthian economy?
Kärnten, Österreich - The expansion of the Koralm Railway, which is seen by many as a “opportunity to“ chance ”for Carinthia, is the focus of critical discussions. In this context, economist Norbert Wohlgemuth expresses doubts about the optimistic expectations of politics with regard to the economic effects of this major project. In recent years, the Carinthian economy has tried, despite considerable challenges, to achieve a sustainable economic upswing. Wohlgemuth emphasizes that it is necessary to look at the expectations of the Koralmsche more realistically and to analyze it more precisely, to what extent the project can actually bring new impetus.
Carinthia's economy is easily dependent on the service sector, which contributes to the added value of the country with a share of 62%. Almost a third, more precisely 36.3%, come from the manufacturing area. Agriculture and forestry, on the other hand, plays a subordinate role with only 1.8%. These figures illustrate the basic structural problems of the Carinthian economy, especially at a time when the influence of industry has tended to increase since the turn of the millennium.
economic challenges and data resources
The current economic conditions in Carinthia are complex. The economic policy report and information system Carinthia (Wibis) offers extensive data and information that serve to support regional economic, funding and structural policy. Wibis has been available for over a decade and gives a deep insight into various economic aspects of the country, including employment data, values for unemployment and forecasts for the population.
Different areas are covered within Wibis, including information on the population structure, number of employees and economic newspapers, which provide monthly information on the economic situation. It also offers valuable insights into the field of research and development, which can be of central importance for the future competitiveness of Carinthia.
conclusion and outlook
In summary, it can be said that Carinthia is faced with huge challenges, in which the Koralbahn can be viewed both as a hopeful and as an uncertainty factor. Wohlgemuth's skepticism may stimulate some to reflect on whether the project is properly prepared in order to actually contribute to a sustainable economic upswing. The current structural conditions, supported by precise data analyzes, require a strategic approach to set the course for the future.More details about the Koralbahn and the development in Carinthia can be found in the reports of krone , , and economic policy report and information system
