FRANZ KLAMMER LEGEND INSPIRES THE FILM AND SPORTS INDUSTRY IN CHINA
On the occasion of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games 2022, the Austrian Consulate General and ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA Shanghai hosted two screening events for the film “Klammer – Chasing the Line”.

The true story of the red-white-red ski athlete, who remains the most successful World Cup downhill racer of all times.

AUSTRIA'S ECONOMY REMAINS CAUTIOUSLY OPTIMISTIC
The Austrian economy was showing signs of cautious optimism as 2022 began. After a significant gross domestic product increase of almost 5% in 2021, analysts from UniCredit Bank Austria also anticipate a similar strong economic growth in 2022. Private consumption in particular is set to become a powerful growth driver this year, fueled by the marked improvement in the situation on the labour market and greater certainty about health policy. However, the continued high rate of inflation could increasingly prove to be a sticking point. Also, supply bottlenecks might continue to last over the next months. The economists at UniCredit Bank Austria expect economic growth in Austria to be above average in 2023 too, with a GDP increase of 3%.

The general mood is damp and the outlook over the next few months remains uncertain. China’s ongoing self-imposed isolation from the rest of the world - with no end in sight – is starting to negatively affect businesses. However, there is a silver lining on the horizon.
