The focus in 2024: WKO demands brave steps for the economy
In retrospect of 2024, the representatives of the WKO Wels comment on the current challenges of the economy in Wels and the surrounding area. Franz Edlbauer, the chairman of the WKO Welsstadt, and Alexander Huber from WKO Wels-Land describe how the Wels economy felt the turbulence in 2024. Although the city benefits from a diverse mix of industries that enables Wels not exclusively dependent on the automotive industry, almost all companies feel affected by the current economic crisis."The Austrian economy continues to fight with great challenges. For the second time in a row, we have to accept negative growth," explains Edlbauer. The need for stabilization is particularly emphasized, because without determined steps, long -term problems are threatened with the location. The business people see great opportunities through the development and implementation of appropriate recipes of the WKOÖ.
necessary measures for the economy
The proposed measures speak of decisive relief for taxes, levies and bureaucracy. "We need investment incentives to start the economic locomotive again," adds Edlbauer. Changes are necessary to increase competitiveness and to promote the creation of jobs. "Performance has to be rewarded again," demands Huber and in particular aims at tax reduction for medium -sized incomes.
The goal is to make full -time jobs and overtime attractive again. In the case of non -wage costs, it must also be reduced in order to be able to survive in international competition. Huber confirms that the WKO Wels plays an important role in such challenging times by actively committed to the concerns of the economy and indicates important initiatives.
"A successful entrepreneur does not simply complain, but finds solutions," Huber continues. The advances in the area of shortage of skilled workers are also discussed, which are promoted through offers such as the apprenticeship fair and the school project "Understanding Economy". With an optimistic look into the future, the WKO announces that it will continue to concentrate on these programs.
"For the coming year I would like a stable government that implement our demands and strengthen the location so that jobs can be secured," says Edlbauer. Huber joins this and appeals to the decision-makers: "We need courage and confidence to make clever and courageous decisions, because now the focus is on the economy."
Overall, the year review shows that WKO Wels and Welsland want to react to the pressing economic challenges with a clear plan and constructive proposals in order to bring the region to a stable growth course. Further details on the current economic situation are at www.meinbezirk.at to read.
