Loacker: “Harald Mahrer himself is not only a co-producer of inflation, but also a beneficiary. In doing so, he might set some levers in motion to relieve companies.”
Vienna (OTS) – Once once more, NEOS business spokesman Gerald Loacker reacted with astonishment to the current interviews with Economic Chamber President Harald Mahrer in “Die Presse” and “Kurier”. In it, Mahrer once once more mimes the biggest critic of the federal government and the measures it has taken to combat high inflation. “Harald Mahrer himself is not only a co-producer of inflation, but also a beneficiary,” says Loacker.
The restrictive trade regulations are reducing the supply and driving prices up further, explains the NEOS business spokesman. Should someone have the strength and fight their way through the bureaucratic jungle in order to be able to set up a business, the Chamber of Commerce diligently snacks on the inflation with chamber allocations 1 and 2. Higher sales drive KU1, higher wages drive KU2. “So instead of always just pointing the finger at the government, Harald Mahrer might set some levers in motion himself to relieve entrepreneurs: firstly, clear out the trade regulations, secondly, cancel the chamber levy 2, thirdly, end compulsory membership and allow a voluntary system . Entrepreneurs need real relief and strong representation of their interests. The Chamber of Commerce hasn’t done all that for a long time.” In addition, the Chamber of Commerce is sitting on a mountain of financial reserves that should be liquidated immediately to relieve the burden on the companies, the NEOS business spokesman concluded.
