Austrian Economic Chamber organizational reforms

Overview

Martha Schultz, President of the Austrian Economic Chamber (WKÖ), has initiated a series of organizational reforms. Initially, the focus was on implementing modernized compliance rules to increase transparency regarding contract awards, nominations, and staff assignments. This reform process followed the resignation of the head of the Vienna Economic Chamber after the ‘Ruck affair’.

As the reform process progressed, the scope expanded to include streamlining organizational structures and reducing personnel. Schultz also outlined plans for a gradual reduction of the chamber levy, targeting an annual financial relief of 100 million euros for member companies by 2030. Additionally, regional discussions in Tyrol have emphasized the need for effective interest representation and addressing competitiveness and skilled labor shortages.
