said Labor and Economics Minister Martin Kocher.
President of the Tyrolean Federation of Industrialists, Christoph Swarvoski, also underlined the importance of rapid support:
“It must now be acted pragmatically and away from all party politics and the problems can only be solved together. The issue is too serious to make small political change out of it. Thousands of jobs are at stake here in the country.”
Entrepreneurial risk
According to the current economic barometer for 2022, two-thirds of the leading Tyrolean companies state that entrepreneurial risk will continue to increase in the coming months. At the beginning of the year, there were still 56 percent who were optimistic regarding economic development. It is currently 14 percent.
