Economically, Austria is doing better than Germany, but so are most countries. The recent election was a headline grabber due to the rise of the far-right Freedom party, around which the other parties are now trying to form a government.
Vienna still has great charm and style — in many ways the best parts are the metro stations which a friend commented have a certain 'Wes Anderson' feel. The city bears the magnificence of its Habsburg empire days.
From a private assets point of view, the invest.austria conference was revelatory — for the range of Austrian companies (AI swarm driven forklifts to compliance software for dentists) that are funded by private equity. Yet like in many other European countries, the non-institutional take-up of private assets is only just starting, and there is great scope for policymakers to help this process, especially so in terms of having more private investment from pension funds.
