RECOGNISING OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPLOITING POSSIBILITIES
Crisis management and future prospects in Vienna

Few people are as familiar with all aspects and facets of Vienna as Peter Hanke.
Since May 2018, he has been Vienna's City Councillor for Finance, Labour and International Affairs. In the social-liberal coalition government formed under Mayor Michael Ludwig after the last Vienna state and municipal elections in November 2020, he also assumed responsibility for Wiener Stadtwerke.
How is Vienna doing economically after a year and a half of the pandemic, how is the labour market looking, what are the main tasks of Vienna's economic policy at the moment and how is the international environment shaping up? BKF President Rudolf Scholten talked about these and other topics that are important for Vienna's future in Kreisky's living room.
