export promotion - Austria / II. Republic of Austria 1980 - 4 Shilling

Austria is an industrially developed country with only a small domestic market. Therefore, the export is of great importance. But exporting does not mean simply selling your goods across the next border. Export requires special efforts and must be systematically built. Austrian economic policy has taken account of the importance of exports and, with the introduction of a modern export guarantee system, has made the financing of foreign transactions much easier. In addition to assistance provided to exporters through export guarantees, export financing options and trade policy measures, there is also a program of technical export promotion in Austria. As early as 1980, the Federal Chamber of Commerce had set up a total of 84 foreign trade offices in all the economically interesting countries of Europe and overseas. These contact points for Austrian exporters are further support on the way to successful export business. Since the accession of Austria to the European Union, a new dimension has opened up for our export economy. The brand image symbolizes the handling of Austrian goods and is intended to indicate the importance of exports for the Austrian economy.
