IMF-Austria: Selected Issues-The COVID-19 Impacts On Austria

September 9, 2021--The COVID-19 pandemic adversely affected the Austrian economy. Evidence from previous crises suggests that economic scarring is common and driven by labor market hysteresis, impaired corporate balance sheets, and deteriorating productivity. As the recovery takes hold, policies aiming at preventing potential rise in long-term unemployment, as well as addressing skills and regional mismatches can foster job creation and promote efficient reallocation of labor.

Targeted equity-like instruments and an effective insolvency framework can help rehabilitate corporate balance sheets while allowing nonviable to efficiently exit the market. A. Introduction 1. The COVID-19 Pandemic led to a severe recession in Austria. Measures aiming at containing the health crisis-including social distancing, lockdowns, and closures-significantly disrupted the economy. Austria's real GDP growth plummeted by 6.3 percent in 2020. Unemployment surged, firms' production and services were severely disrupted, especially in contact intensive sectors such as tourism, and productivity dwindled. On the demand side, private consumption and investment plunged.

ESAs highlight risks in phasing out of crisis measures and call on financial institutions to adapt to increasing cyber risks

September 8, 2021--The three European Supervisory Authorities (EBA, EIOPA and ESMA-ESAs) issued today their second joint risk assessment report for 2021. The report highlights the increasing vulnerabilities across the financial sector, the rise seen in terms of cyber risk and the materialisation of event-driven risks.

As the recovery begins, the appropriate phasing out of exceptional crisis measures plays a key role. Despite the positive outlook, the expectations for economic recovery remain uncertain and uneven across member states.

Vulnerabilities in the financial sector are increasing, not least because of side effects of the crisis measures, such as increasing debt levels and upward pressure on asset prices. Expectations of inflation- and yield growth, as well as increased investor risk-taking and financial interconnectedness issues, might put additional pressure on the financial system.
