Investments in the future
Previously, during question time, the state governor defended the state’s spending on company investments and purchases, including the purchase of the Stegersbach thermal baths and the former sugar factory in Siegendorf. From his point of view, it is the country’s job to support companies and stabilize them in difficult situations as well as to secure locations, jobs and the tourism region, said Doskozil. Burgenland has “stable finances”, which was also confirmed by the current rating from the Standard & Poor’s agency. This is positive with AA and a stable outlook, said the state governor.
