Vienna Stock Exchange: The Vienna Stock Exchange is delighted to announce to become a partner exchange in the "Sustainable Stock Exchanges Initiative". This United Nations (UN) initiative encourages an exchange among global stock exchanges on environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) issues. "As politically anchored in the new Austrian government program, sustainability goals and innovative business models should go hand in hand. The public limited company is the perfect instrument for broad inclusion in both the prosperity companies produce as well as involvement in decision-making. Education opens this door for the next generation and is the best protection for investors", says Christoph Boschan, CEO of the Vienna Stock Exchange.

Inflation rate 2019: The average annual inflation rate of consumer prices (CPI 2015) in Austria amounted to +1.5% in 2019, according to Statistics Austria. This was noticeably below the level of 2018 (+2.0%) and 2017 (+2.1%) and markedly above the level of 2016 and 2015 (+0.9% each). Prices for housing, water and energy (+2.8% compared to 2018) were the most important price driver, followed by prices for restaurants and hotels (+2.9%). Cheaper fuels were mainly responsible for the decrease of the 2019 inflation rate, while 2018 had seen a sharp rise in fuel prices. During the course of 2019, inflation ranged between +1.1% and +1.8%. From +1.8% in January the inflation dropped to +1.5% in February and reached again +1.8% in March. It declined to +1.4% by July, reached +1.5% in August, subsequently dropped to +1.1% in October and November and ultimately increased to +1.7% in December.
