About the clinic

Export price 2024

Yesterday, the Austrian Export Prize was awarded to successful export companies at the Hofburg Palace in Vienna. The gold, silver and bronze awards also recognised the above-average performance of Austrian tourism and leisure companies, which make a significant contribution to service exports by catering for foreign guests. Income from foreign guests is a key pillar of Austria’s current account balance. They totalled 23.1 billion euros in the previous year and were therefore nominally around 13% higher than the level before the outbreak of the pandemic.
