"Never before have we been offering a broader and more exciting product range to investors. The field has been prepared, but only those who sow can reap. Currently, low interest rates make saving impossible. As a compensation, investing should be made easier for the Austrians. Long-term investors should be able to invest their already taxed earned income tax-free in shares", says Christoph Boschan, CEO of the Vienna Stock Exchange and its holding company, and advocates the reintroduction of the withholding tax exemption with a retention period of more than one year. While owners of savings books are losing value in real terms, shareholders of ATX companies have profited this year by a total of Euro 3.2 bn in dividends distributed. The dividend yield is currently an impressive 3.8%.
