| Tlo historyczne | Once the center of power dla the large Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria was reduced to a small republic after its defeat w Swiat War I. Following annexation by Nazi Niemcy w 1938 and subsequent occupation by the victorious Allies w 1945, Austria's status remained unclear dla a decade. A State Treaty signed w 1955 ended the occupation, recognized Austria's independence, and forbade unification z Niemcy. A constitutional law that same year declared the country's "perpetual neutrality" as a condition dla Soviet military withdrawal. The Soviet Union's collapse w 1991 and Austria's entry into the Unia Europejska w 1995 have altered the meaning of this neutrality. A prosperous, democratic country, Austria entered the EU Economic Monetary Union w 1999. | Once the center of power dla the large Austro-Hungarian Empire, Austria was reduced to a small republic after its defeat w Swiat War I.

| Ekonomia | Austria, z its well-developed market economy and high standard of living, is closely tied to other EU economies, especially Niemcy's. The Austrian economy also benefits greatly from strong commercial relations, especially w the banking and insurance sectors, z central, eastern, and southeastern Europe. The economy features a large service sector, a sound industrial sector, and a small, but highly developed agricultural sector. Membership w the EU has drawn an influx of foreign investors attracted by Austria's access to the single European market and proximity to the new EU economies. The outgoing government has successfully pursued a comprehensive economic reform program, aimed at streamlining government and creating a more competitive business environment, further strengthening Austria's attractiveness as an investment location. It has implemented effective pension reforms; however, lower taxes w 2005-06 led to a small budget deficit w 2006 and 2007. Boosted by strong exports, growth nevertheless reached 3.3% w both 2006 and 2007, although the economy may slow w 2008 because of the strong euro, high oil prices, and problems w international financial markets. To meet increased competition - especially from new EU members and Central European countries - Austria will need to continue restructuring, emphasizing knowledge-based sectors of the economy, and encouraging greater labor flexibility and greater labor participation by its aging population. | Austria, z its well-developed market economy and high standard of living, is closely tied to other EU economies, especially Niemcy's. Membership w the EU has drawn an influx of foreign investors attracted by Austria's access to the single European market and proximity to EU aspirant economies. Slow growth w Niemcy and elsewhere w the world held the economy to 0.7% growth w 2001, 1.4% w 2002, and again less than 1% w 2003. However, recent data signal that the recovery has started. The government estimates economic growth w 2004 of 1.7-2.1% and of 2.5% w 2005. The government is planning a EURO 500 billion income tax cut w 2004, though some economists doubt it will have stimulative effects w 2004, because it will be offset by higher health insurance contributions and higher taxes on energy. For 2005, Austria plans a tax cut of EURO 2.5 billion and harmonization of the various pension schemes. To meet increased competition from both EU and Central European countries, particularly the new EU members, Austria will need to emphasize knowledge-based sectors of the economy, continue to deregulate the service sector, and lower its tax burden. A key issue is the encouragement of much greater participation w the labor market by its aging population. |
