Management of economic measures
Economic situation in focus, decisions under control
The current volatile global situation – including the war in Ukraine – underscores how crucial it is to make swift and well-informed economic decisions in times of crisis. This is exactly where the Austria Reporting Platform comes in: it provides a concise yet comprehensive economic overview – always up-to-date, standardized, and easily accessible. Drawing from over 30 national and international data sources, the platform offers a solid foundation for fact-based political action. By intelligently combining data from the fields of economy, energy, transport, logistics, and foreign trade, it enables proactive crisis management for Austria.

Quick Facts
How it works
The Austrian Reporting Platform brings together a range of applications, each with a specific focus. Every module helps support political decision-making with reliable data and enables forward-looking crisis management.
At the heart of the platform is the economic situation overview. It ensures that decision-makers have a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the overall economic situation. A wide range of key performance indicators – from employment figures and price indices to energy metrics and transport statistics – is automatically provided by partner institutions such as Statistics Austria, Moody’s Analytics, and international organizations, and presented in clear, user-friendly dashboards. This allows ministries to monitor the economic situation at any time and respond flexibly.
Another module, the Section V Almanac, supports internal knowledge management: it prepares information for policymakers – whether as a basis for speeches, background info, or parliamentary inquiries. The platform is complemented by the Datapoint Dashboard for foreign trade data (imports/exports, direct investments) and the Section V Newsflash, which summarizes daily economic news in English.
An additional area focuses on anti-money laundering measures. Here, sector-specific data are managed in accordance with Austrian trade law (§ 365n1 GewO 1994), while the platform maintains the highest data protection standards: authorities only have access to the information relevant to them.
The Big Picture
The Austria Reporting Platform provides ministry officials with a tool that is valuable not only in times of crisis. By offering up-to-date, precise economic data, it enables proactive and resilient management of Austria’s economy. Staff are well-informed, processes are professionalized, and risks are identified early. This builds trust in the government's ability to act and increases administrative efficiency – a prime example of data-driven governance.
