FIW annual report on Austrian foreign trade published
The special importance of Austrian foreign trade relations for Austrian economic development is taken as an opportunity by the "Research Centre International Economics" (FIW) to prepare an annual report on the "State of Austrian Foreign Trade" starting in 2020 with the support of funds from the Federal Ministry for Digital and Economic Affairs (BMDW). This publication consists of several chapters and will deal with a different main focus each year. In addition to the presentation and analysis of the most recent developments in Austrian foreign trade, special attention will be paid to the forecast of future developments. For this purpose, the annual report contains two chapters on the assessment of the short and medium-term development of Austrian foreign trade relations. Against the background of the new trade barriers introduced since 2018, the current Annual Report focuses on this topic and gives it special consideration in the analyses carried out. [more]
