OESTERREICHISCHE KONTROLLBANK AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT

The Bank was established in 1946 under the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz) to provide services outside routine commercial banking functions to the Austrian economy. The Bank’s activities include the administration of export guarantees (as agent of the Republic) and the financing of Austrian exports. Its registered and head office is located at Am Hof 4, A-1010 Vienna, Austria.

In 1950 the Bank became involved in the financing and promotion of Austrian exports. Since the original adoption of the Export Promotion Act in 1964, which was replaced on June 1, 1981 by the Export Guarantees Act of 1981, and which has since been amended (the “Export Guarantees Act”), the Bank has acted as the sole agent of Austria for the administration of guarantees issued by Austria under this Act covering commercial, political and foreign exchange risks in connection with Austrian exports. The Bank also provides medium- and long-term financing to banks and foreign importers for export transactions, the repayment of which is guaranteed by Austria under the Export Guarantees Act. Substantially all borrowings by the Bank in connection with export loan financing are guaranteed either as to principal and interest, as to foreign exchange risk or as to both by Austria under the Export Financing Guarantees Act of 1981, as amended (the “Export Financing Guarantees Act”). See “Business—Export Services—Export Loan Financing by the Bank—Sources of Funds for Export Financing”. The Bank also engages in certain other financial activities including non-export related lending to Austrian public entities and the organization and administration of domestic bond issues, in particular bond offerings by the Republic. Until January 31, 2005, the Bank also operated the clearing system of the Vienna Stock Exchange. As of February 1, 2005, these activities were transferred to Central Counterparty Austria, or CCP.A., a joint venture between the Bank and the Vienna Stock Exchange. The Bank clears and settles the OTC-transactions in its function as Central Securities Depositary. In the context of the trading of foreign registered shares on the Vienna Stock Exchange, the Bank may be registered—in its function as Austrian Central Securities Depositary—as the holder of these shares. The Bank does not accept deposits from the general public or engage in general lending or other commercial banking activities.

BUSINESS

Our main business is to administer guarantees issued by the Republic for export transactions pursuant to the Export Guarantees Act. These guarantees (“Export Guarantees”) are not liabilities of the Bank. We also provide export loan financing.

Austria directly pays all claims on Export Guarantees. In contrast, the Bank conducts its export loan financing activities, which relate exclusively to the refinancing of receivables covered either by Export Guarantees or, to a lesser extent, by private credit insurance and other means, for its own account.

The Bank also performs several significant functions in the Austrian capital markets. In this field, through Central Counterparty Austria, a joint venture with the Vienna Stock Exchange, and the operation of Austria’s central securities depository, the Bank exercises a central function in the custody and administration of securities and endeavors to improve existing services for the banking community, the Vienna Stock Exchange and capital markets participants.

Export Services

Administration of Export Guarantees of the Republic

Pursuant to the Export Guarantees Act, the Bank acts as the Republic’s sole agent for the administration of Export Guarantees. Except in cases in which the Bank itself is to be the beneficiary of an Export Guarantee, the Bank processes and performs a credit analysis of applications for Export Guarantees. All Export Guarantees must be authorized by the Republic and are issued and administered by the Bank on behalf of the Republic. During 2008, the Bank, as agent of the Republic, issued 1,032 Export Guarantees covering export transactions with a total value of EUR 12.0 billion (approximately $17.0 billion), and at December 31, 2008, the total value of all export transactions covered by Export Guarantees amounted to EUR 44.4 billion ($62.8 billion). In July 2007, the validity of the Export Guarantees Act was extended until December 31, 2012. Guarantees issued under the Export Guarantees Act will not be affected by the expiry.

Under the Export Guarantees Act, the Austrian Government could initiate a procurement procedure in which other institutions with an appropriate banking license within the European Economic Area would be eligible to compete with the Bank to become the Republic’s sole agent for the administration of Export Guarantees. In such event:

 

   

the Bank will remain the sole agent of the Republic for as long as no other party has been awarded an agency contract pursuant to the prescribed procurement procedure;

 

   

the Austrian Government is required to inform the Bank at least two years prior to initiating a procurement procedure for awarding a new agency contract to one of the tendering institutions, which will include the Bank; and

 

   

in case a new agent is appointed, any export guarantees and export financing transactions pending at that time will continue to be administered by the Bank and credit operations to raise the required funds will continue to be guaranteed by the Republic.

The Bank is a member of the Berne Union (International Union of Credit and Investment Insurers), which consists of 51 export credit and investment insurers from 41 countries.

In 2008, based on an amendment of the Export Guarantees Act, the Bank established, on behalf of the Republic Osterreichische Entwicklungsbank AG (Austrian Development Bank; the “Development Bank”), to be responsible for acquiring participations, granting loans and other financing measures and providing assistance, designed in agreement with the Ministry of Finance, to developing countries in establishing private industry. The Development Bank is a wholly owned subsidiary of the Bank and the board of management of the Development Bank is formed by two experienced employees from the Bank.

Table of Contents

Risks Covered by Export Guarantees. Liabilities assumed by the Republic under the Export Guarantees Act take the form of guarantees for the due performance of contracts by the foreign contracting parties, or guarantees by aval on bills of exchange whose discount proceeds are applied to financing export transactions. The Export Guarantee scheme is comprised of 12 types of guarantees. The most significant is the investment guarantee, which represented EUR 9.6 billion or 21.5% of total guarantees outstanding as of December 31, 2008.

Other significant Export Guarantees are guarantees for tied financial credits (EUR 6.5 billion or 14.7% of total guarantees outstanding as of December 31, 2008) and guarantees for direct deliveries and services (EUR 2.1 billion or 4.7% of total guarantees outstanding as of December 31, 2008).

In addition, reinsurance guarantees are available (EUR 1.8 billion or 4.0% of total guarantees outstanding as of December 31, 2008).

Payments under Export Guarantees. The 1981 regulation of the Minister of Finance under the Export Guarantees Act (the “Regulation”) provides that Austria will pay claims against it under Export Guarantees upon recognition of its liability (in cases of both matured claims and claims that mature after Austria recognizes its liability) in accordance with the payment schedule established in the underlying contract. The Regulation also provides acceleration of a payment schedule against Austria under an Export Guarantee. The Regulation permits Austria to deny liability under an Export Guarantee under certain circumstances, mainly in cases of fraud or misrepresentation in connection with the issuance of such guarantee or failure to comply with the guarantee’s conditions. In 2008, Austria, as guarantor, paid gross claims amounting to EUR 380.0 million (2007: EUR 328.0 million), while recoveries totaled EUR 262.0 million (2007: EUR 188.0 million).

Maximum Liability of Austria on Export Guarantees. The Export Guarantees Act establishes a ceiling of EUR 50.0 billion (USD 70.7 billion) on the liability of Austria under outstanding Export Guarantees. As of December 31, 2008, the total liability of Austria amounted to EUR 44.4 billion (USD 62.8 billion) or 88.8% of the maximum authorized liability. When calculating the extent of utilization, the basic amounts (maximum amount of guarantee less the lowest rate of retention) outstanding under the guarantees and the total financing requirements reported in the case of guarantees by aval on bills of exchange are included.

Export Loan Financing by the Bank.

In addition to the Bank’s role as sole agent for the administration of the Republic’s export guarantee program under the Export Guarantees Act, the Bank makes loans directly to banks including the shareholders of the Bank (“Refinancing Loans”) in order to permit such institutions to finance export loans made directly by them.

Export Loans and Commitments. The following table sets forth the aggregate principal amount of refinancing of tied loans and the acquisition of accounts receivable outstanding as of December 31, in each of the last five years:

Of the total export financing outstanding as of December 31, 2008, EUR 31.0 billion (approximately $43.8 billion) were to banks which are shareholders of the Bank.

Moreover, we assume commitments to grant export financing. As of December 31, 2008, the balance of export financing not yet granted which we were contractually obligated to make was EUR 2.1 billion ($3.0 billion). This balance was scheduled to be drawn down as follows (dollar amounts may not add due to rounding):

   2,149    3,040
         

All of these undisbursed amounts may be cancelled in whole or in part at the option of the potential borrower, but the aggregate amount of cancellations to date has been insignificant. The timing of the draw-downs of these undisbursed amounts may change from time to time due to late deliveries, construction delays or other reasons.

Of the Bank’s outstanding refinancing of export loans granted by banks at December 31, 2008, approximately 5.2% were for exports to European Union Member States, 21.3% to the rest of Europe (including Turkey and the Commonwealth of Independent States), 8.5% to Asia, 1.5% to Africa, and 0.4% to the Americas. The remaining percentage of approximately 63% was for export loans covered by Export Guarantees for which no regional breakdown is available.

Terms and Conditions of Export Financing. We denominate substantially all of our export financing in euro. We only finance the portions of loans that are fully covered by Export Guarantees, are insured or otherwise secured in accordance with the Export Financing Guarantees Act. When refinancing loans, the Bank obtains (1) assignments of the rights of the bank against its borrower and against Austria or a credit insurer under the Export Guarantee or credit insurance covering the refinanced loan or against any other qualified guarantor and (2) an assignment of the rights of the Austrian exporter against the foreign importer. In almost all cases where tied loans are not made directly to a foreign government, governmental agency or financial institution, these loans are, in addition to being covered by Export Guarantees, also guaranteed by a foreign government, governmental agency or financial institution.

Each export financing made by the Bank since 1975 has consisted of a portion bearing interest at a floating rate and a portion bearing interest at a fixed rate. Between 10% and 50% of the principal bears interest at a floating rate, which depends on the maturity of the loans and is repaid prior to the fixed rate portion. The floating rate portion bears interest at the export finance rate usually determined quarterly by the Bank on the basis of the cost of our export related borrowing operations. For the second quarter of 2009, this rate for euro loans was set at 2.45% per annum. A statutory committee chaired by the Ministry of Finance, after consultation with the Bank, sets the Bank’s interest rates for the fixed rate portions. Due to the current volatile market situation, the statutory committee decided for the time being to not set any fixed rate portions. Because the Bank adjusts the floating rate portions of export loans, it is able to recover increases in the costs of its borrowing operations, including borrowing operations to fund the fixed rate portions of its export financing.

Generally, loans made to refinance the export of consumer goods have a repayment term of less than one year and loans made to refinance the export of heavy industry goods or major projects generally have repayment terms of five to ten years. In certain cases, export financing on soft terms involving exports to developing countries may have longer maturities.

Table of Contents

Sources of Funds for Export Financing. The principal sources of funds for our export financing activities are borrowings and issuances of debt securities, both in Austria and abroad. See “Consolidated Financial Statements for the year 2008 of the OeKB Group—Consolidated Balance Sheet of the OeKB Group” and Notes 31, 32 and 33 to the Financial Statements.

The Export Financing Guarantees Act authorizes the Minister of Finance to issue on behalf of Austria unconditional guarantees of Austria for the payment of principal and interest on borrowings incurred by the Bank for the purpose of financing export transactions, including export loans, or for the purpose of refinancing such borrowings. In addition, pursuant to Sec. 1 Para. 2 Lit. b of the Export Financing Guarantees Act, Austria is authorized to provide indemnification in the case of foreign currency borrowings, so that we shall not have to pay more principal and interest expressed in euro than contemplated at the time of the borrowing on the basis of then prevailing exchange rates. The Export Financing Guarantees Act provides that Austria’s guarantees may only be issued if, after giving effect to such issuance, the aggregate liability for payments of principal under all guarantees then in effect does not exceed the maximum outstanding aggregate amount. In July 2007, the validity of the Export Financing Guarantees Act was extended until December 31, 2013. Guarantees of Austria issued prior to such date will not be affected by the expiration of the Act. In December 2008, the maximum outstanding aggregate amount was raised from EUR 40 billion ($56.6 billion) to EUR 45 billion ($63.6 billion). An amount equal to 10% of the euro equivalent of the outstanding guaranteed principal is added in computing the aggregate amount of such liability in view of the exchange rate risk. As of December 31, 2008 the total amount of outstanding liabilities of Austria under the Export Financing Guarantees Act was EUR 36.4 billion ($51.5 billion).

Payment of principal and interest on most foreign currency borrowings of the Bank is covered by Austria’s guarantees under the Export Financing Guarantees Act. Austria has indemnified the Bank against foreign exchange risks in connection with substantially all foreign currency borrowings by the Bank. As of December 31, 2008, the total of outstanding borrowings denominated in currency other than euro by the Bank amounted to EUR 13.5 billion ($19.1 billion). As of December 31, 2008, the total amount of outstanding borrowings denominated in euro by the Bank amounted to EUR 24.5 billion ($34.7 billion).

Securities Services

Domestic Capital Markets Activities. We act as an agency for the organization and administration of bond offerings by the Republic of Austria. Processing is effected via the automated and electronic Austrian Direct Auction System (ADAS) developed by OKB.

In 2008 we organized and administered new bond issues representing a nominal amount of EUR 5.6 billion ($7.9 billion).

Over the past few years, the group of financial institutions eligible to participate in auctions of bonds and money markets treasury bills of Austria has been expanded to include all financial institutions that hold a securities account with us as the central securities depositary. As of December 31, 2008, 25 financial institutions were eligible to participate in these auctions. Currently, both federal bonds and federal treasury bills are auctioned using the yield tender procedure.

In connection with domestic debt offerings, we also act as principal paying agent. At the end of 2007, we administered payments for 379 bond issues and federal treasury bills.

The Capital Markets Act, which entered into force on January 1, 1992, and which was amended several times thereafter, entrusted the Bank with the function of a registration office. The registration office acts as a depositary for the prospectuses to be issued in compliance with the Capital Markets Act and the Investment Funds Act, and prepares a calendar for planned issues of securities and investments as defined in the Capital Markets Act. The registration office publishes on a daily basis and via Reuters the information regarding planned

Table of Contents

issues which it has received, in the form of a preview. Moreover, this information is published in electronic form once a week in the Bank’s information brochure “Kapitalmarktservice” which may be subscribed to by any interested person. In 2007 the registration office processed approximately 39,500 reports for the issue calendar, and approximately 16,500 prospectuses (including amendments to prospectuses) were filed in compliance with the Capital Markets Act and the Investment Funds Act.

Stock exchange trading, clearing and settlement. Pursuant to a decree of the Vienna Stock Exchange Council, we have been the clearing agency for the Vienna Stock Exchange since 1949. On November 5, 1999, trading on the Vienna Stock Exchange was entrusted to the Xetra trading system of the Deutsche Börse AG. Until January 31, 2005, we continued to clear and settle the transactions on the Vienna Stock Exchange even after the introduction of the German trading system. As of February 1, 2005, we transferred these activities to Central Counterparty Austria GmbH, a joint venture between the Bank and the Vienna Stock Exchange.

Central Securities Depositary. Since July 1, 1965, we have acted as the central depositary for securities in Austria. Depositors can open collective securities depositary accounts and benefit from the attendant advantages (simplification of securities custody, administration and transfer). Account holders include all members of the Vienna Stock Exchange, brokers and clearing institutions as well as foreign and domestic credit and financial institutions. In our capacity as central depositary, we have also entered into agreements with other central depositaries in order to ease cross-border settlement of securities transactions. Such agreements exist with the German, Dutch, French and Italian central depositaries, as well as with the Euroclear System (“Euroclear”) and Clearstream Banking société anonyme, Luxembourg (“Clearstream Luxembourg”).

Competence Center for the Energy Market. In 2001, we took advantage of the deregulation of the electricity energy markets in Austria to develop a new business segment. The Bank performs the functions of financial clearing and risk management for “adjusted energy” (the difference between the contracts entered into by market participants on the basis of forecasts and the actual consumption/production of energy, which has to be consumed or generated by market participants). In 2003, we assumed the equivalent function for the gas energy market. On this basis, we are positioning ourselves as a competence center for the entire energy sector.

Other Services

Non-Export Loan Activities. As of December 31, 2008, the Bank’s non-export loans totaled approximately EUR 4.5 million ($6.37 million). These loans were made to the Austrian telephone and telegraph system prior to Telekom Austria’s privatization and to OKB-employees. The loans have been financed by borrowings from Austrian banks.

Money Markets Operations. We are a dealer in the Austrian money markets in interest-bearing demand deposits and short-term time deposits of credit institutions including our shareholder banks. During 2008, the average daily closing balance of money markets accounts receivable of the Bank connected with such operations was approximately EUR 0.47 billion ($0.66 billion).

Intermediary Transactions. The Bank acts, in certain situations, on a commission basis as an intermediary for other Austrian banks by making loans to borrowers designated by these banks upon receipt of matching funds from these banks (fiduciary loans). These transactions are structured so that the credit risk is borne by these banks and not by us.

Information Services. Furthermore, the segment “Other Services” encompasses our information services which deliver studies, analyses, or concise summaries on global financial and economic developments mainly to business enterprises, domestic and foreign financial service providers as well as scientific and research institutions.

In addition, Austrian law requires that our employees be represented on the Supervisory Board by delegates elected to four-year terms by the Staff Council. These delegates have the right to vote on substantially all questions at meetings of the Supervisory Board. The employee delegates on the Supervisory Board are: Martin Krull, Anish Gupta, Erna Scheriau, Doris Hanreich-Wiesler, Otto Schrodt, Claudia Richter and Ulrike Zabini.

The Supervisory Board reports to the shareholders on the Bank’s management and financial condition. The authorization of certain transactions by the Board of Executive Directors, including borrowing and lending by the Bank in excess of certain amounts, is subject to approval by the Supervisory Board. With respect to our borrowing and lending activities, the Supervisory Board has delegated this function to an Executive Committee consisting of the following persons:

 

Gerhard Randa

   Chairman of the Supervisory Board

Walter Rothensteiner

   1st Vice-Chairman of the Supervisory Board

Martin Krull

   Employee delegate on the Supervisory Board

As required by the Austrian Stock Corporation Act (Aktiengesetz), the Supervisory Board has appointed a committee for the examination and preparation of the approval of the annual financial statements (Ausschuss zur Prüfung und Vorbereitung der Feststellung des Jahresabschlusses) which consists of the chairman and the 1st vice-chairman of the Supervisory Board and the chairman of the works council (Betriebsratsvorsitzender).

State Commissioners/Representatives and Government Commissioners

Pursuant to the Austrian Banking Act of 1993 (Bankwesengesetz), the Minister of Finance of Austria must appoint a State Commissioner and a Deputy State Commissioner for most banks, including OKB. The State Commissioners are entitled to participate in the meetings of the shareholders and of the Supervisory Board of the Bank and must object to resolutions which in their view violate the laws or regulations of Austria. The objection of a State Commissioner suspends the effectiveness of such resolutions until the determination by the Financial Markets Authority as to their validity. In addition, the Export Financing Guarantees Act authorizes the Minister of Finance to appoint a Representative and a Deputy Representative who are charged with protecting the interests of Austria in connection with the guarantees assumed by Austria under the Act.

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Introductory Note to Financial Statements

The following version of financial statements is a translation of the consolidated financial statements of Oesterreichische Kontrollbank Group which were originally prepared in the German language. The consolidated financial statements of Oesterreichische Kontrollbank Group were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) adopted and published by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). In 2005, the Bank prepared its consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS for the first time.

The Bank’s financial statements published in Austria are audited in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in Austria by KPMG Austria GmbH Wirtschaftsprüfungs- und Steuerberatungsgesellschaft (“KPMG”) a firm of qualified independent public accountants in Austria. The result of the audit is reported in the auditors’ certificate included in the published annual financial statements of the Bank. KPMG has given its unqualified opinion that the accounting records and the financial statements of the Bank comply with the above-mentioned legal regulations and the accounting principles and procedures generally accepted in Austria. The purpose of such audit is to examine whether the financial statements are accurate and comply with the legal provisions, since the aforementioned statutes and regulations contain detailed rules of accounting, with special regard to the protection of creditors. The Bank’s financial statements and the consolidated financial statements were filed with the commercial register at the Handelsgericht Wien, Marxergasse 1a, 1030 Vienna, under the registration FN 85749b and was published in the “Wiener Zeitung” in May 2009.

The financial statements contained herein differ substantially from financial statements prepared in accordance with the accounting and financial reporting practices followed in the United States and, thus, have not been prepared in accordance with the accounting rules and regulations adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, and as subsequently amended. The accounting and reporting principles applicable to the Bank’s consolidated financial statements are presented in Notes 1 to 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. It is not deemed feasible to prepare and present the various financial statements of the Bank in accordance with practices and principles followed in the United States.

The accounting and reporting principles applicable to the Bank’s consolidated financial statements are presented in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OF THE OeKB GROUP

Accounting and Measurement Principles

(1) General principles

Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG is a special-purpose bank based in 1011 Vienna, Austria. The OeKB Group business activities are in the field of export and capital market services.

Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG, Vienna, prepares the consolidated financial statements subject to Section 59a of the Austrian Banking Act (BWG) and Section 245a of the Austrian Commercial Code (UGB), exclusively in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as applicable in the European Union.

In its accounting and valuation policies the OeKB Group has applied all IFRSs, IASs as well as the interpretations of these standards by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC; previously Standard Interpretations Committee/SIC) mandatory at the balance sheet date. IFRS 8 was already applied in the financial year 2007.

Accounting is carried out using uniform accounting and valuation methods throughout the Group. The following accounting and valuation principles are consistently applied to all financial years mentioned in these consolidated financial statements.

The currency used in the report is the euro. Unless otherwise stated, amounts are rounded to thousands of euro.

(2) Consolidated companies

A list of all companies included in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the OeKB Group is presented under Note (29) (Disclosure of equity investments). The group of fully consolidated companies includes not only the parent company, Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG (hereinafter referred to as “OeKB”), but also the newly founded Oesterreichische Entwicklungsbank AG, Vienna (hereinafter referred to as „OeEB”) and “Österreichischer Exportfonds” GmbH, Vienna (hereinafter referred to as “Exportfonds”).

Last year the OeKB and the Exportfonds, OeKB Versicherung AG and Prisma Holding GmbH were fully consolidated.

The following changes in the consolidation method occurred during the financial year: due to restructuring the insurance segment, Euler Hermes Kreditversicherungs-AG acquiring a stake in OeKB EH Beteiligungs- und Management AG, OeKB EH Beteiligungs- und Management AG now forms a group of its own with its wholly-owned subsidiaries OeKB Versicherung Aktiengesellschaft, PRISMA Kreditversicherungs-Aktiengesellschaft and OeKB Südosteuropa Holding Ges.m.b.H. The result of this group is recognized at equity in the consolidated result of the OeKB Group.

Comments on material changes of balance sheet items resulting thereof are provided in the individual Notes.

Two enterprises (previous year: 4) whose overall influence on the financial position of the Group is of minor significance only were not consolidated. The balance sheet total of these companies amounts to less than 0.04% of the consolidated balance sheet total. In the OeKB Group’s Financial Statements, two (2007: 2) enterprises (joint ventures) were accounted for under the equity method.

OF THE OeKB GROUP—(Continued)

 

(3) Consolidation principles

The consolidation action taken in the context of preparing the Group Financial Statements includes capital consolidation, consolidation using the equity method, debt consolidation, consolidation of expenses and income as well as the elimination of intra-Group results. The fully consolidated companies present their annual financial statements uniformly as of December 31.

The right of choice in accordance with IFRS 1 was exercised on the transition date January 1, 2004, i.e. the values stated conform to the first consolidation based on the Commercial Code (UGB). Thus capital consolidation is based on the book value method. The acquisition cost of the investments in the Group company is accounted for against the pro-rata equity capital of the subsidiary from the date on which control is transferred to the Group. As in previous reporting periods, the provisions of IFRS 3 regarding the acquisition of businesses have not been applied due to a lack of relevant business transactions. Intra-Group receivables and liabilities, expenses and income as well as intra-Group profits are eliminated, unless they are insignificant.

Companies to be classified as joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method and are reported as investments in companies valued at equity. Local financial statements adjusted to uniform Group measurement methods are used for measurement at equity. The year-end results of these companies correspond to the amounts stated in the available financial statements so that the changes in equity are recognized in the same year. The dividends distributed are cancelled. The results are shown in the income statement within the item net interest income under “income from investments in associated companies and joint ventures”.

(4) Currency translation

Assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated at the indicative exchange rates announced by the European Central Bank on the reporting date (December 31, 2008).

 

    Currency   Mid-rate   Currency   Mid-rate   Currency   Mid-rate

Indicative exchange rates as of December 31, 2008

           
  AUD   2.0274   GBP   0.95250   PLN   4.1535
  CAD   1.6998   HRK   7.3555   RON   4.0225
  CHF   1.4850   HUF   266.70   SEK   10.8700
  CZK   26.875   JPY   126.14   SKK   30.126
  DKK   7.4506   NOK   9.7500   USD   1.3917

(5) Financial instruments

Financial assets

All fixed-interest and variable-yield securities and other investments are posted under this item. Changes in value and effects are shown under net income from financial assets. Asset purchases and sales are accounted for at the respective settlement dates.

The securities positions have been designated at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL). As the OeKB Group does not have any securities held for sale, these securities form part of the investment portfolio, managed on the basis of market values. They are measured at fair value on the balance sheet date.

Investments in not fully consolidated companies as well as other investments are valued at acquisition cost. In the event of permanent impairment, the relevant item is written down.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OF THE OeKB GROUP—(Continued)

 

Loans and advances

Loans and advances to banks and customers, as long as they are original loans, are reported at their nominal amount or are recognized at amortized cost before deduction of impairment losses and including accrued interest. Individual risk provisions are recorded to take into account recognizable credit and sovereign risks. Risk provisions are not offset against the corresponding loans and advances but are disclosed in the balance sheet. Most loans and advances to banks under the export financing scheme are covered by guarantees of the Republic of Austria. A general credit risk provision was not necessary.

Financial liabilities

Liabilities are recognized at redemption value or the nominal amount. Premiums and discounts are amortized over the term of the debt instrument. Zero coupon bonds are accounted for at the present value. In case of derivative transactions being entered into to hedge interest rate risks or currency risks, the underlying debt instruments are recognized at fair value to avoid accounting mismatches.

Derivative transactions

The fair value of derivatives is calculated using recognized methods. They are accounted for at trade date.

Derivatives that are essentially held for the purpose of hedging the fair market value of banking book balance sheet items are posted at market value (clean price) under other assets or other liabilities. To avoid an accounting mismatch (FVTPL), the changes in the fair value of the hedged items are recognized in the income statement as a component of the net income from financial assets in the same way as the derivative transactions.

The exchange rate guarantee of the Republic of Austria in accordance with the Export Financing Guarantees Act (AFFG—Federal Law Gazette no. 216/1981, as amended) intended to hedge exchange rate risks in the export financing scheme, is treated as a derivative transaction and accounted for at fair value.

(6) Determination of fair value

The fair value of listed instruments is based on quoted market prices at the balance sheet date. Financial instruments not listed on the stock exchange are valued by using the present-value method (present value of discounted future cash flows) or on the basis of suitable option pricing models (values resulting from applying the Black-Scholes option pricing formulas, the multifactor HJM model or the Hull White model approach). Input parameters such as market prices and interest rates, are determined on the balance-sheet date and obtained from recognized external sources. Investment funds are stated at the values pursuant to the Investment Fund Act.

(7) Risk provisions

Risk provisions in the lending business cover impairment losses (for financial loans) and provisions (for guarantee loans) for all recognizable credit and sovereign risks. In its credit risk management, the OeKB Group uses a financial standing assessment system and an internal rating procedure. The business partners are grouped into five internal rating categories based on the external ratings of internationally recognized rating agencies (Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, Fitch). The development of the ratings is monitored on an ongoing basis. Internally developed criteria are applied in respect of customers for whom no external rating is available. Thus the assets of the banking book and off-balance-sheet business can be classified in their entirety according to creditworthiness and collateral.

(8) Property, equipment and intangible assets

Property and equipment comprises land and buildings used by the Bank as well as office furniture and equipment. Land and buildings used by the Bank serve mainly the Bank’s own operations.

 

1. Property, equipment and intangible assets are measured at acquisition cost less planned straight-line depreciation. The assumed average useful lives are as follows:

 

     Years

Useful life

  

Buildings

   40

Office furniture and equipment

   3 to 10

IT investments

   3 to 5

Software

   3 to 5

 

2. Low-value assets costing up to EUR 400.—are fully written off in the year in which they are acquired. In the statement of property and equipment (Note 28) they are recorded as additions and disposals in the year of acquisition.

Intangible assets exclusively include software purchases. They are tested for impairment periodically.

(9) Other liabilities

Liabilities are accounted for at the probable repayable amount.

(10) Provisions for personnel expenses

Provisions for pensions, termination benefits and jubilee bonus obligations are calculated annually by an independent actuary using the projected unit credit method, in accordance with IAS 19. The Bank uses the current pension calculation tables of Pagler & Pagler in the version for employees as the biometric base for its calculations. The most significant parameters are a rate of interest of 5.5% (2007: 5.0%) for calculation purposes, a rate of increase in salaries and pensions at 3.0%, a career trend of 2.0%, as well as an assumed retirement age for women of 57 years, 9 months (2007: 57 years, 6 months) and for men of 62 years, 9 months (2007: 62 years, 6 months) applying the ASVG transitional rules under the 2003 Ancillary Budget Act. In past years, the pension claims of some of the employees were transferred to a pension fund in the framework of a contributory pension plan. The provision covers claims of employees who were already retired at the transfer date, as well as claims of the other active employees not transferred. The provision covers benefits for invalidity and incapacity for employment for all active employees. Provisions for termination benefits are recognized for legal and contractual claims. Actuarial gains and losses are fully recognized in the income statement of every financial year.

(11) Other provisions

In the framework of the export financing scheme an interest stabilization provision is recognized to stabilize the interest rates for export financing credits, based on the de facto obligation to use surpluses in the export financing scheme. On the one hand, this obligation is based on the rules on fixing interest rates in the export financing scheme, which provide fixed margins for the OeKB. On the other hand, it results from an instruction of the Federal Ministry of Finance to use surpluses of fixed interest-rate finance facilities. The amounts allocated to the provision correspond to the interest earned in the export financing scheme exceeding the refinancing costs incurred and the fixed margin of the Bank, as well as to the net effects of the valuation result of derivatives and financial liabilities in the export financing scheme. In accordance with the resolutions adopted, the provision is used to stabilize the conditions of export financing credits.

The allocations to the remaining provisions correspond to the assumed claims to be settled.

(12) Current and deferred taxes

Taxes on income are accounted for and calculated in accordance with IAS 12. Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured using local tax rates. Deferred taxes are calculated using the liability concept. It compares the assets and liabilities recognized in the IFRS balance sheet to the amounts recognized for taxation of the respective company of the Group. Temporary differences in values stated result in accrued tax assets and tax liabilities.

The net income and net losses are influenced by changes in fair value through profit and loss, impairment losses, gains through profit and loss, exchange rate changes as well as derecognition. The interest and dividend payments regarding financial assets for which the fair value option was chosen upon initial recognition and which are therefore measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized in the interest result.

Revenue recognition

Income and expenses are recognized on an accrual basis.

Segment reporting

The primary aim of segment reporting is to show the components making up the OeKB Group’s result broken down into the following business segments:

 

   

Export Services

 

   

Capital Market Services

 

   

Other Services.

The segment “Export Services” comprises the administration of guarantees by the OeKB as the agent of the Republic of Austria pursuant to the Export Guarantees Act, the OeKB’s export financing scheme, as well as the investment in “Österreichischer Exportfonds” GmbH.

The segment “Capital Market Services” concentrates all services performed by Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG in the areas capital market, clearing and settlement of stock exchange and over-the-counter securities transactions, services as the CentralSecuritiesDepository.Austria and clearing services for the energy market.

The segment “Other Services” encompasses the information services of the OeKB, its investment-portfolio, the activities of the OeKB Group in the private credit insurance sector as well as the Oesterreichische Entwicklungsbank AG.

Amounts set off for inter-segment transactions are exclusively due to the provision of services. Oesterreichische Kon-trollbank AG provides services to its subsidiaries at cost.

The pension provisions are the result of obligations arising from direct promises or individual contracts.

In this context, in 2008 contributions totaling EUR 0.6 million (2007: EUR 0.6 million) were paid to the pension fund. The provisions include claims of the other employees and of staff retired at the date of transfer as well as claims of all active employees for invalidity and incapacity for employment.

Changes in the long-term provisions for personnel expenses are fully recognized in personnel expenses.

Other provisions as of December 31, 2008 include a provision for interest stabilization of EUR 530.0 million (2007: EUR 888.0 million) accrued to hedge against fluctuations of interest rates in the export financing scheme. More details on valuation are provided in Note (11). In accordance with the purpose of the provisions, EUR 3.2 million were used for interest stabilization and EUR 354.8 million for valuation in the year under review. The actuarial provisions recognized in this item until and including 2007 amount to EUR 15.8 million as of December 31, 2007.

This results in a consolidated capital ratio (ratio of own funds to the assessment basis) of 94.1% compared to 86.4% in 2007. The consolidated Tier 1 ratio is 74.9% compared to 66.9% in the previous year. This results in a capital excess (ratio of own funds to minimum requirements of own funds) of 645.4% (2007: 1,062%).

In accordance with Section 3 of the Austrian Banking Act, Oesterreichische Kontrollbank AG is exempted with regard to legal transactions under the Export Guarantees Act and 1981 Export Financing Guarantees Act concerning the provisions on solvency (Sections 22 to 22q of the Austrian Banking Act), liquidity, outstanding foreign exchange and maturity positions and large-scale investments (Sections 25 to 27 of the Austrian Banking Act).

The banking group pursuant to Section 30 of the Austrian Banking Act does not comprise investments in insurance companies, which is a difference to the group of consolidated companies under IFRS.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OF THE OeKB GROUP—(Continued)

 

The Group has met the capital requirements of the national supervisory authority throughout the reporting period.

The minimum requirements of own funds in respect of the credit risk are determined on the basis of the regulations of the Section 22a of the Austrian Banking Act (credit risk standard approach); the basic indicator approach pursuant to Section 22j of the Austrian Banking Act is applied in respect of the operational risk. The group of credit institutions does not have a trading book.

At Group level the risks are aggregated in accordance with the economic capital concept. They are compared to the available internal capital and monitored by using a risk-bearing capacity analysis.

(49) Risk management

Risk management and risk controlling are crucial processes to ensure the security and profitability of the enterprise in the interest of the customers and shareholders. Risk assumption must always conform to the risk policy and risk strategy defined by the Board of Executive Directors, which aims at safeguarding a sustainable and stable rate of return on equity based on a conservative approach to business and operational risks.

The Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process (ICAAP) implemented ensures that the defined bank-specific capital adequacy is safeguarded. As a controlling and management tool, it is an integral part of the management process.

A key factor in measuring and controlling risks is the economic capital; it is computed based on the value at risk (VaR) concept over a one-year time horizon. The categories particularly taken into account in the ICAAP are credit risk, market risk and operational risks. In this context, risk is basically defined as the danger that the actual result will be lower than the expected result (unexpected loss). The liquidity risk is managed by monitoring the excess from allocating cash inflows and cash outflows to defined maturity bands.

The following table shows the minimum capital requirements under the Austrian Banking Act and the corresponding risk amounts under ICAAP by risk category:

 

in 1,000 EUR

   Value at risk pursuant to

   Required own funds

Other market risk in the banking book

   60,933   

Other risks

   17,772   

Operational risk

   32,643    23,488

In the risk coverage calculation the economic capital is compared to the risk coverage capital (internal or regulatory capital) by using a multi-tier system, which takes into account different risk hedging goals. The available capital is allocated to market and credit risk in proportion to the economic capital. Additional operational limits are in place in key areas.

Risk assessment is conducted at least at quarterly intervals. Different methods are used, depending on the risk type. Material credit risks are assessed based on the CVaR, while material market risks are determined based on the VaR. Non-material credit and market risks are recognized as lump sums, other risks (e.g. yield and business risk) are taken into account by recognizing an extra amount. Operational risk measurement is performed by applying the basic indicator approach, which is enhanced by a distribution assumption for highly reliable assessment. The systems SAP and Bloom-berg as well as systems developed internally are used for this purpose.

Risk management is supported by the Internal Control System (ICS), which ensures compliance with guidelines and risk minimization measures. Far-reaching automated IT General Controls and checks, which are above all performed by the internal auditing unit, guarantee the efficacy of the ICS.

The risk management objective for 2009 is to further develop and refine the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process as well as to integrate it to an even greater extent at all decision-making levels with a view to transparent risk management. The introduction of a new asset liability management system will be conducive to this objective, offering also the option of dynamic simulations of the development of values and earnings.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OF THE OeKB GROUP—(Continued)

 

Organization

Against the background of the main segments of the OeKB Group and its specific business and risk structure, the enterprise has implemented a clear functional organization of the risk management process; clearly defined tasks have been assigned to the following organizational units:

Board of Executive Directors: In accordance with the responsibility defined in the Austrian Banking Act (BWG), the Board of Executive Directors formulates the risk policy and risk strategy. In managing the overall risks of the Bank, the Board of Executive Directors—in cooperation with the Risk Management Committee—defines the acceptable overall risk and the limits derived from it as well as the risk monitoring procedures on the basis of the maximum level of risk assumption determined.

Risk Management Committee: Risk management and risk controlling, developed in line with the risk policy, are the tasks of the Risk Management Committee. It is the addressee of risk reports, it monitors and controls the risk profiles of the individual risk types and, if necessary, adopts measures resulting from the risk reports. The Committee is composed by the Board of Executive Directors, the members of the Risk Office as well as representatives of accounting and various operational areas.

Risk Office: The measures adopted by the Risk Management Committee are implemented by the Risk Office and, as far as financial risk management (FRM) and operational risk management (ORM) are concerned, by the Risk Controlling Department, into which Information Security is integrated. Information Security deals with risks relating to the use of information technology.

Risk Controlling: The Risk Controlling Department is responsible for measuring and assessing financial risks and operational financial risk controlling, including the monitoring of internal limits as well as the practical implementation of the Internal Capital Adequacy Assessment Process.

ALCO: Based on income and risk analyses, the Asset Liability Management Committee defines structural targets for the operative control units to structure the portfolio and the balance sheet of the Bank.

Internal Audit: The organizational units participating in the risk management process and the procedures applied are subject to regular checks by the Internal Auditors.

Board of Supervisory Directors: The Board of Supervisory Directors is in charge of the control function of all measures related to risk management in the enterprise; it receives quarterly reports on the risk situation of the OeKB Group. These risk reports provide a detailed presentation of the financial risk situation and the economic capital for the operational risk. The Audit Committee of the Board of Supervisory Directors also monitors the efficacy of the internal control system.

(50) Market risk

Market risks arise from potential changes of risk factors, which may lead to a reduction of the market value of the financial position subject to these parameters. The individual market risks distinguished are the interest rate risk, the foreign exchange risk and the share price risk. The market risks in the OeKB Group only affect positions of the banking book, no trading book is kept.

The assessment of the risks is based on the value at risk concept to estimate possible maximum losses. In addition, the interest rate and foreign exchange sensitivity ratios are determined; the effects of extreme market developments are calculated using stress tests. Stress tests are performed by using two methods. First, the economic capital itself, which has been determined in the framework of the ICAAP, is subject to different scenarios (expected shortfall, credit migration, correlation). With regard to market risks, the effects of several concrete scenarios (e.g. Black Monday, 11 September) are computed.

Table of Contents

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OF THE OeKB GROUP—(Continued)

 

The most significant market risk arises from the OeKB’s own portfolio (see Note (19) Financial assets), consisting of 29.6% investment funds and 70.4% bonds. The value at risk is determined at monthly intervals; as of December 31, 2008 it amounts to EUR 37.1 million for a holding period of one year and a confidence level of 99%.

Foreign exchange risks arise above all in connection with long-term and short-term financing facilities in the export financing scheme. These risks are hedged by an exchange rate guarantee of the Republic of Austria pursuant to the 1981 Export Financing Guarantees Act and derivative financial transactions (currency swaps). A USD-item recognized outside the export financing scheme as of December 31, 2008 is to be regarded as a hedge against a USD-sensitive investment from the economic perspective.

Hedging

Derivative financial instruments are used to control market risks. They consist in interest rate swaps and interest rate/ currency swaps traded over the counter and predominantly used as hedging instruments for own issues. Instead of hedge accounting in accordance with IAS 39, these financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit and loss (FVTPL) to avoid an accounting mismatch. As a result, the fluctuations in value of individual derivatives and liabilities are directly recognized in the income statement.

(51) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risks are grouped into scheduling and call risks as well as structural liquidity risks (refinancing risks). No economic capital is determined in respect of the liquidity risk. The liquidity risk is managed by monitoring the excess from assigning cash flows of all assets and liabilities to defined maturity bands. The Forward Liquidity Exposure prepared at regular intervals also takes into account liquidity reserves readily convertible into cash.

The OeKB’s market standing facilitates the availability of financial resources at all times, and its refinancing risk is reduced by the Federal Republic’s guarantee in the framework of the export financing scheme. This could also be observed during the liquidity crisis affecting the financial market in the reporting period. Despite difficulties regarding long-term facilities, the OeKB has had and has access to short-term resources. Moreover, a high level of securities eligible for central bank borrowings safeguards risk-adequate realizable liquidity.

(52) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of unexpected losses due to the non-payment or diminished creditworthiness of counterparties. Due to the business structure of the OeKB Group the credit institution distinguishes between the following types of credit risk: counterparty/default risk, investment risk and concentration risk. For credit risks the credit value at risk (CVaR) is decisive, i.e. the difference between the absolute VaR at a confidence level of 99.99% in proportion to the expected value of credit loss.

The probability of default is determined basically by mapping based on the ratings of external rating agencies (Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s, Fitch). On the basis of these ratings, the counterparties are grouped into five internal rating categories. The data are updated continuously. Customers for which no external rating is available are subject to internally defined requirements.

The outstanding credit volume of the OeKB Group consists predominantly in export financing credits. Due to the strict guidelines for credit extension, these credits are granted subject to stringent requirements concerning collaterization (e.g. above all guarantees of the Republic of Austria). To hedge against credit risks in connection

with derivative financial transactions, collateral agreements were concluded with the most important counterparties, while with the remaining counterparties downgrade trigger clauses were laid down. They allow contract assignment to other business partners or contract termination after a defined rating downgrade. The export financing scheme is treated as an investment risk with a separate risk coverage potential.

As far as the operational business is concerned, not only regulatory requirements must be met. In addition, volume limits defined by the Board of Executive Directors for the individual business types and portfolios as well as limits fixed for contracting parties and issuers, which are applicable across operational areas, have to be complied with.

(53) Operational risk

The operational risk is defined as “the risks of losses due to the inadequacy or failure of internal procedures, human resources and systems or external circumstances, including legal risks”.

Frameworks, guidelines and procedures applying to the whole Bank are prepared by the Risk Office based on the risk policy and are documented in the OP Risk Manual. The OP Risk Manual also comprises emergency manuals and emergency plans as well as crises scenarios subject to an annual review. The efficacy of these plans and concepts is examined in scenario training programmes. The ongoing maintenance and evaluation of the damages database guarantees a continuous optimization process of operational risks. Due to the importance of information security, an Information Security Officer was appointed in 2007.

(54) Information on employees

During the financial year an average of 363 (2007: 365) employees were employed in the Group. Part-time employees were included on a pro-rata basis, corresponding to the extent of their employment.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

OF THE OeKB GROUP—(Continued)

 

(58) Critical accounting estimates and judgements

Preparation of financial statements in accordance with IFRS requires critical accounting estimates and judgements relevant to the operations. The accounting estimates are reviewed and adjusted on an ongoing basis. Adjustments are made in respect of the current period but in the case of long-term effects also in respect of future periods.

The estimates of the trend in interest rates have a major impact on the results and the activity of the OeKB.

These estimates are also reflected in the valuation of financial instruments. The interest curves applied are based on the market conditions prevailing at the respective date.

IV. UNQUALIFIED OPINION

(Report of the independent auditor)

Report on the Consolidated Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of

Oesterreichische

Kontrollbank Aktiengesellschaft,

Vienna,

for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2008. These consolidated financial statements comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity and cash flow statement for the year ended December 31, 2008, and a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory notes.

Management’s Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU. This responsibility includes: designing, implementing and maintaining internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error; selecting and applying appropriate accounting policies; making accounting estimates that are reasonable in the circumstances.

Auditor’s Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit in accordance with laws and regulations applicable in Austria and in accordance with International Standards on Auditing, issued by the International Auditing and Assurance Standards Board (IAASB) of the International Federation of Accountants (IFAC). Those standards require that we comply with ethical requirements and plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making this risk assessment, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control.

An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

Opinion

Our audit did not give rise to any objections. Based on the results of our audit in our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of 31 December 2008, and of its financial performance and its cash flows for the financial year from January 1 to December 31, 2008 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards as adopted by the EU.

Report on Other Legal and Regulatory Requirements

Laws and regulations applicable in Austria require us to perform audit procedures whether the consolidated management report is consistent with the consolidated financial statements and whether the other disclosures made in the consolidated management report do not give rise to misconception of the position of the Group.

In our opinion, the consolidated management report for the Group is consistent with the consolidated financial statements.

REPUBLIC OF AUSTRIA

GENERAL

The Republic of Austria is situated in Central Europe. It shares borders with:

 

   

Switzerland and Liechtenstein in the west,

 

   

the Federal Republic of Germany, the Czech Republic and the Slovak Republic in the north,

 

   

Hungary in the east, and

 

   

Slovenia and Italy in the south.

The population of Austria in 2006, the date of the most recent consensus, was 8,281,295. From 2001 to 2006, Austria’s population increased by approximately 3.1% . Vienna, the capital, had a population of 1.66 million in 2006.

Austria has an area of 32,383 square miles. The western and southern regions of Austria, containing the Austrian Alps, are mountainous and heavily forested. There are fertile plains in the eastern parts of the country and in the valley of the Danube River, which flows through Austria for a distance of 217 miles.

The present Austrian frontiers were determined by the Treaty of St. Germain in 1919. The occupation of Austria following World War II was ended by the State Treaty for the Re-establishment of an Independent and Democratic Austria in 1955. The treaty limits the manufacture and possession by Austria of certain types of military weapons, including atomic weapons.

FORM OF GOVERNMENT

Under the Austrian Federal Constitution Act of 1920, as amended in 1929 (the “Constitution”), Austria is a democratic and federal republic, with legislative and executive powers divided between the federal government and the nine constituent provinces.

The legislative power of the federal government is vested in a bi-cameral legislature consisting of the Nationalrat and the Bundesrat. The members of the Nationalrat are elected for a period of five years by direct, secret, popular suffrage under a system of proportional representation. The Nationalrat may be dissolved before the termination of the term of five years for which it is elected, by its own action or, in certain circumstances, by the Federal President. The present Nationalrat was elected on September 28, 2008. The members of the Bundesrat are elected periodically by the legislatures of the provinces in proportion to the populations of the nine provinces.

The executive powers of the federal government are vested in the Federal President, the Chancellor and the Cabinet. The Federal President is elected by direct, secret, popular suffrage for a term of six years. Dr. Heinz Fischer was elected Federal President on April 25, 2004 and assumed the office on July 8, 2004. The chief constitutional powers of the Federal President are the appointment of the Chancellor and his Cabinet and the dissolution of the Nationalrat. The present administration was formed on December 2, 2008 by a coalition of the Austrian Social Democratic Party and the Austrian People’s Party with Werner Faymann of the Austrian Social Democratic Party as Chancellor and Josef Pröll of the Austrian People’s Party as Vice-Chancellor.

The judicial power is exercised by the federal courts. Courts of last resort are provided for questions of civil and criminal law and for questions of administrative law. A separate constitutional court has primary competence to determine the constitutionality of all legislative and administrative acts of the federal government and the provinces.

THE ECONOMY

General

Austria has a highly developed and diversified economy. Industry, which consists of manufacturing and mining, construction, energy and water supply, accounted for 30.9% of the gross value added at current prices in 2008. Industrial development has been favored by the availability of domestic sources of electric power and raw materials. Tourism, agriculture and forestry also play an important part in Austria’s economy.

Gross Domestic Product

The following table shows the major sectors of Austria’s gross domestic product for the years 2004 through 2008. The 2008 gross domestic product at current prices totaled EUR 282.2 billion, representing a 4.2% increase over 2007. The 2008 gross domestic product at 2000 prices totaled EUR 244.5 billion, representing a 1.8% increase over 2007.

Industry

In 2008 manufacturing (including mining) accounted for 20.9 % of gross value added. Thus the contribution of manufacturing to Austria’s gross domestic product is higher than the average in European Union member states. Austria’s share of the European Union’s manufacturing output increased between 1985 and 2007 from 2.1 % to 2.9 %. The absolute value added per employee was the sixth highest among the EU 15.

In terms of contribution to gross domestic product, machinery and equipment was the largest sector within the industrial sector in 2008, followed by metals and metal products. The other primary contributors to the Austrian export industry are machinery, motor vehicles and basic metal products. Traditionally, Austria’s expenditures for research and development (R&D) have been lower than those of other members of the European Union. However, in 2008 R&D expenditures were above the European Union average, amounting to 2.6 % of Austria’s gross domestic product.

In 2008, an average of 248,268 individuals was engaged in construction, representing 7.5 % of Austria’s wage and salary earners. Construction accounted for 7.1 % of the 2008’s gross value added.

Banking, Insurance, Real Estate and Business Services

The Single Market program of the European Union has increased competition within Austria’s financial services industry and led to a series of mergers and consolidations. Consequently, the number of banks declined from 923 in 2000 to 867 in 2008 and the number of branches was reduced by 305.

The most spectacular bank merger occurred in 2005. With the merger of Hypovereinsbank and UniCredito Italiano Bank, Bank Austria Creditanstalt, which had formally been controlled by Hypovereinsbank, became a member of the new UniCredit Group. Bank Austria Creditanstalt remains responsible for all activities in Austria and for most of UniCredit Group’s activities in Central and Eastern Europe.

In 2007, the global financial system came under considerable strain caused by a deterioration of credit quality, a drop in valuations of structured credit products, and a lack of market liquidity accompanying a broad deleveraging in the financial system. The IMF estimated aggregate potential write-downs and losses to be close

to USD 2,000 billion. The banking sector in Austria has so far remained resilient though concerns have been raised due to its substantial credit claims vis-à-vis the region of East-central Europe. The latest figures available show an accumulated exposure of Austrian banks to Central, East and South Europe (CEE and SEE) of EUR 288.8 billion. Of this amount, 72% result from business in EU countries. Yet, business operations conducted by Austrian financial institutions have so far been concentrated on retail banking transactions where financial losses should remain circumscribed even under most adverse economic conditions.

In October 2008, two new laws aiming at the prevention of adverse developments within the Austrian financial system were introduced: the Interbank Market Support Act (IMSA) and the Financial Markets Stability Act (FMSA). Both acts together with the Depository Guarantee Scheme (DGS) result in a support-package of EUR 100 billion. The ISMA enables the Ministry of Finance to offer guarantees for bank bond issues with a maximum tenor of five years and to assume liability for the lending and borrowing operations of the newly established clearing bank. The overall budget for the Republic of Austria under the IMSA amounts to EUR 75 billion.

The FMSA authorizes the Ministry of Finance to take recapitalization measures on credit institutions and insurance companies supervised by the Financial Market Authority (FMA). The overall amount for capital injections has been set at EUR 15 billion.

Under the DGS, natural persons’ bank deposits are guaranteed without limit until the end of 2009. Afterwards, the guarantee is limited to EUR 100,000. Bank deposits of small companies and other legal persons are guaranteed up to a certain limit subject to a 10% threshold.

After a moderate increase in 2006, premium income in the Austrian insurance industry continued subdued growth in 2007 (+2.1%). Projections for 2008 provide a stable picture of the industry (+2.5%). Contrary to the rest of Europe, the Austrian life insurance segment lost momentum in 2007, instead property-liability insurance became the source of dynamics. Claims payments showed moderate gains in 2007, the only exception being life insurance (+24.5%). This steep acceleration was due to expiring contracts, signed after the announcement of a change in the tax code in 1988. Preliminary data for 2008 show claims dynamics to abate, though property-liability insurance will suffer from a rising claims ratio. The valuation adjustments required in the wake of the US sub-prime crisis strongly affected investment income in the insurance industry. Being down by -7% (life), -24% (health), and -9% (property-liability), the return on investments as well as operating income declined.

In 2008, the financial services, real estate and business services sectors contributed to Austrian gross value added at current prices by a margin of 23.7%.

While the reliance on oil, oil products and hydroelectric power as a percentage of total domestic consumption has been relatively stable, the use of natural gas and biomass has increased. In the foreseeable future, Austria will have to continue importing significant amounts of non-hydro-electric energy products.

In 2008, 0.942 million metric tons of crude oil (including natural gas liquids) were produced in Austria, amounting to 8.0 % of total crude oil consumption. The production of natural gas from domestic sources covered 14.4 % of total natural gas consumption. According to the Austrian Member Committee of the World Energy Council (WEC), Austria had proven reserves of crude oil of more than 100 million barrels and proven reserves of natural gas of 1.22 billion cubic feet as of the end of the year 2007.

OMV AG (“OMV”), formerly Osterreichische Mineralölverwaltung AG, is an integrated oil and chemical company responsible for the largest part of the exploration and drilling activities in Austria and owns and operates Austria’s only oil refinery, located in Schwechat, near Vienna. OMV is partly, and indirectly, state-owned. Foreign companies have the major shares of the markets for petroleum products in Austria.

In 2008, Austria generated 4.9 % more electricity than in 2007 and was a net importer of electricity (net imports amounting to 7.1 % of total electricity consumption). Since 1978, following a national referendum, Austrian law has forbidden the use of nuclear power as a source of energy.

In 2008, expenditures for imported energy accounted for 5.0% of Austria’s gross domestic product. Kazakhstan, Iraq and Algeria were the principal suppliers of crude oil to Austria in 2008. In that year, 67% of all natural gas imports came from Russia, whereas the share of Norwegian gas imports under the Troll-Gas-Sales Agreement reached 14%. Coal and coke were imported principally from Poland and the Czech Republic.

Agriculture and Forestry

Almost half of Austria’s surface area is used for agriculture and animal breeding. Domestic agricultural production covers approximately 90 % of the country’s food consumption. In 2008 livestock raising and dairy operations accounted for about 47 % of total agricultural production.

Austria has one of the largest forest areas in Europe. About 43 % of its surface area, or approximately 14,000 square miles, are forested. Exports of lumber and forest products, including paper, paperboard and pulp, represented 6.9 % of Austria’s exports in 2008.

In 2008, an average of approximately 170,000 individuals were employed in agriculture and forestry, representing 4.6 % of Austria’s labor force.

Tourism

Austria’s tourism industry benefits from extended summer and winter seasons. The natural and scenic attractions, as well as the rich traditions in music and other forms of art and science, attract a great number of tourists each year.

In 2008 the total number of overnight stays reached 126.7 million and increased by 4.3% from previous year (domestic tourists: 33.9 million (+2.6%), foreign tourists: 92.8 million (+4.9%). Among Austria’s most important markets the demand from Russia, Poland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, Hungary, Denmark and the Netherlands rose above average. The number of overnight stays of guests from Germany, Belgium–Luxembourg, and France increased more moderately. A significant decline of demand, however, was registered for guests from the US, the number of overnight stays of Swiss and Italian tourists decreased more slightly.

According to the latest Tourism Satellite Account (TSA) direct tourism value added (excluding business trips) accounted for 5.0% of Austria’s GDP in 2007. The contribution to GDP of both direct and indirect tourism demand (excluding business trips), made up 8.2%.

The following table shows the total number of overnight stays by foreign tourists in Austria and international tourism receipts derived therefrom.

The Role of Government in the Economy

The industries and companies under state ownership have included the entire coal, iron ore, and iron and steel industries and a large part of the non-ferrous metals and oil and natural gas industries, as well as a number of companies producing machinery and vehicles, electrical machinery and equipment, and chemicals and chemical products. Austria vested the administration of ownership interests in the nationalized industries in the Österreichische Industrieholding Aktiengesellschaft (“ÖIAG”). Austria owns all the shares of ÖIAG.

Table of Contents

In 1993, following an amendment to the ÖIAG Act and the adoption of the ÖIAG Financing Amendments Act, ÖIAG began with the privatization of companies or groups of companies owned by it. Since then, ÖIAG has carried out numerous privatization transactions including successfully floating holdings on the stock exchange. As of December 31, 2008, ÖIAG held GKB Bergbau GmbH (“GKB Bergbau”) as a wholly-owned subsidiary, held a majority of the shares of Österreichische Post AG (“Post”), and held minority interests in Telekom Austria AG (“Telekom Austria”), Austrian Airlines AG (“Austrian Airlines”), and OMV AG (“OMV”). Regarding these holdings,

 

   

Post is Austria’s leading service provider in mail carriage.

 

   

Telekom Austria is Austria’s largest telecommunications group, providing fixed network, mobile communications, data communications and internet services.

 

   

The Austrian Airlines group covers all segments of the aviation industry—from scheduled and charter traffic to cargo—and is the market leader in these areas in Austria.

 

   

OMV is engaged in the exploration, development and refining of oil and gas, as well as the production of chemicals for use in the fertilizer industry.

 

   

GKB Bergbau is responsible for closing down, securing and monitoring the disused mines in Voitsberg-Köflach, Wies-Eibiswald, Wolfsberg and Bad Bleiberg and other, smaller external mining sites, closing down and recultivating former lignite mining areas in the Voitsberg district.

On May 9, 2003 the Austrian government instructed ÖIAG to continue with the privatization of companies and groups held by it. Under the privatization mandate ÖIAG has to maximize the value and the sales prices of these companies. In addition, the mandate requires ÖIAG to act in the best interest of the Republic by:

 

   

creating and conserving secure jobs in Austria;

 

   

providing, to the extent possible, that the decision making powers for the privatized companies remain in Austria;

 

   

maintaining and expanding of existing research and development capacities through the creation of Austrian core share ownership through shareholders agreements with, among others, industrial partners, banks, insurance companies, pension funds and social security funds; and

 

   

considering the interests of the Austrian capital markets.

In August 2008, the Republic of Austria issued a privatization mandate to ÖIAG to privatize up to 100% of its shareholding in Austrian Airlines. By a capital increase in the second half of 2008, ÖIAG´s stake in Austrian Airlines dropped to 41.6%. On December 5, 2008, ÖIAG signed a share purchase agreement for this stake with Lufthansa. Due to legal procedures (takeover offer, merger control), the privatization process is still pending.

In 2008, according to the Financial Market Stability Act (FinStaG), ÖIAG was assigned to found Finanzmarktbeteiligungs AG (FIMBAG), a joint stock company. FIMBAG is the operating vehicle that fulfils the tasks set up in FinStaG to strengthen the Austrian financial market.

Labor and Social Legislation

Austria’s average active population (men between the ages of 15 and 65 and women between the ages of 15 and 60) in 2008 was estimated at approximately 5.4 million individuals, and the Austrian labor force (wage and salary earners, self-employed individuals and unemployed individuals) was estimated at 4.0 million.

In recent years, a substantial number of foreign workers have been employed in Austria. An average of approximately 0.4 million such foreign workers were employed in Austria in 2008, representing 12.3 % of the labor force. Approximately 38 % of the foreign workers are citizens of the former Yugoslavia, one sixth are citizens of Germany and approximately 13% are citizens of Turkey.

The rate of unemployment (according to Eurostat Labour Force Survey), as a percentage of the total number of wage and salary earners, including self-employed and unemployed, was 4.4 % in 2007. In 2008 the average number of unemployed was approximately 0.16 million, representing 3.8 % of the labor force.

Austria’s social security system includes health, maternity, disability and old age benefits, workmen’s compensation, family allowances, supplementary retirement and welfare plans, unemployment benefits and a number of other social services and benefits. Approximately 99% of Austria’s population is covered by social security. Social security benefits are paid out of current contributions from employees and employers and by current allocations from the federal budget. The preliminary federal result for 2008 provided for total expenditures for social welfare payments in an amount of EUR 27.6 billion. Such expenditures account for 37% of the total federal expenditures, excluding expenditures for state-owned enterprises. They do not, however, take into account any expenditure for social welfare services financed by the budgets of the Länder or made with the proceeds of borrowings by the Republic pursuant to any special budget law.

Foreign Direct Investments

The amount of inward foreign direct investment grew at a rate of 20.5% in 2006, after a high rate of growth in 2005 (+34.8%). The main part of foreign investment still originates from the “old” EU member states (EU15: 72.2%). The most important investors in 2006 were Germany and Italy, taking into consideration the reorganization of the UniCredit Group. The proportion of foreign direct investment accounted for by the “new” EU member states is negligible. All European countries together still account for 83% of foreign direct investment. The most important European investors outside the EU are Switzerland and Liechtenstein (together accounting for a share of 6.9% of total investment in Austria). Outside Europe the United States is the single most important investor in Austria, accounting for 7.4% of the total while Japan accounts for only 1.7% of total Austrian inward foreign direct investment.

Investment in the service sector, which accounts for 81% of total investment, is significantly larger than investment in the manufacturing sector. Foreign companies have invested mainly in banking and insurance operations and trading. Other important industries in which foreign entities have acquired major interests are the oil, chemical (4.7%), as well as the food products manufacturing (3.8%) industries. In 2006, the transportation and communication sector, electricity, gas and water supply, the manufacturing of transport equipment and banking and insurance sectors experienced the highest increases in foreign direct investment.

In 2004, Austria’s current account improved and closed the year with a surplus of EUR 4.8 billion. The balance of goods, services and income slightly improved to EUR 6.2 billion. Exports grew by 13.4% and imports by 12.2% respectively. The shortfall on current transfers changed from EUR 1.6 billion in 2003 to EUR 1.4 billion in 2004.

The financial account deteriorated compared to 2003 and stood at EUR 0.6 billion. Direct investments fell from their small positive outcome in 2003 to a deficit of EUR 3.5 billion in 2004. Portfolio investments fell sharply from EUR 4.0 billion to a deficit of EUR 1.1 billion.

In 2005, Austria’s current account further improved and stood at EUR 4.9 billion. The balance of goods, services and income amounted to EUR 6.3 billion which is mainly due to an improvement of services compared to the preceding year. Exports continued to develop satisfactorily in 2005 and showed an increase of 8.5% compared to 2004, whereas imports grew by 9.1%.

The financial account continued its negative trend and closed at EUR 0.2 billion. Direct investments closed at EUR 0.1 billion, whereas portfolio investments again fell substantially compared to 2004 and stood at a deficit of EUR 10.9 billion.

In 2006, the current account again developed positively and reached the level of EUR 7.2 billion . The balance of goods, services and income improved to EUR 8.6 billion compared to EUR 6.3 billion in 2005. The trade balance slipped into a small surplus of EUR 0.3 billion.

The growing current account surplus has also led to a substantially increased net-export of capital: The financial account stood at EUR 7.9 billion compared to EUR 0.2 billion at the end of last year. While portfolio investments showed an import of capital of EUR 11.5 billion, other investments resulting mainly from the banks’ credit- and deposit business showed an export of capital of EUR 15.4 billion. Additionally, direct investments amounted to EUR 3.7 billion.

In 2007, the current account developed positively and reached the level of EUR 8.4 billion . The balance of goods and services improved to EUR 13.2 billion compared to EUR 10 billion in 2006. Compared to 2006, the surplus of the trade balance further grew to EUR 1.3 billion.

The growing current account surplus has also led to a substantially increased net-export of capital: The financial account closed at EUR 9.3 billion compared to EUR 7.9 billion in 2006. While portfolio investments showed an import of capital of EUR 23 billion, other investments resulting mainly from the banks’ credit business showed an export of capital of EUR 26.7 billion. Additionally, direct investments decreased compared to 2006 and amounted to EUR 2.7 billion.

In 2008, Austrian exporters achieved another record current account surplus (EUR 9.8 billion). The surplus in the current account reflects above all a surplus in the services account, which made the Austrian economy independent from capital imports and enabled Austria to reduce its net external debt.

FOREIGN EXCHANGE

Foreign Exchange Rates

On January 1, 1999, the euro was introduced as the legal currency of participating Member States of the European Union. During a transition period from January 1, 1999 until December 31, 2001, the Austrian schilling (ATS) was a non-decimal unit of the euro, expressed by the conversion rate irrevocably fixed on December 31, 1998 at ATS 13.7603 per 1 euro. Both the euro and the schilling were initially legal tender in Austria. Euro coins and bank notes became available on January 1, 2002. The Austrian schilling ceased to be legal tender at the end of February 2002.

The following table shows the average exchange rates of the euro to the dollar during the periods indicated.

BANKING SYSTEM AND MONETARY POLICY

Oesterreichische Nationalbank (“OeNB”)—Central Bank of Austria

The following is a general description of the Austrian banking system as part of the European central bank system, which is defined by the Treaty establishing the European Community, as amended by the Treaty establishing the European Union (the Maastricht Treaty) (hereinafter the “EC Treaty”) and the Statutes of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank. The role of Austria’s central bank in this system is also defined by the Austrian National Bank Act.

The OeNB, established by Austrian Federal Law in 1922, is the central bank of Austria. It is a joint stock company, 50% of whose shares are owned by the Republic of Austria by law, with the balance being owned by Austrian financial institutions and other Austrian entities. The transfer of shares in OeNB is subject to approval by the bank’s general meeting.

The OeNB is supervised by a General Council (Generalrat) consisting of fourteen members: the President and Vice-President of the OeNB, six members appointed by the Federal Government, and six members elected by the shareholders meeting. Pursuant to the National Bank Act, the members of the General Council shall include representatives from banks, industry, trade, small business and agriculture, as well as representatives of salaried employees and wage earners. The daily business of OeNB is run by the Directorate (Direktorium) consisting of the Gouverneur, the Vice-Gouverneur and two other members.

Like any other company in which the Republic of Austria holds a stake of at least 50% of the capital, the OeNB is subject to control by the Court of Accounts (Rechnungshof).

European System of Central Banks: Upon Austria’s entry into the final stage of European Monetary Union on January 1, 1999, the OeNB became an integral part of the European System of Central Banks (“ESCB”). The ESCB, which consists of the European Central Bank (“ECB”) and the national central banks (NCBs) of those EU member states participating in monetary union, was established for the conduct of the single European monetary policy. The ESCB’s primary objective is to maintain price stability. In addition, and without prejudice to this objective, the ESCB supports the general economic policies in participating countries. Its basic functions are to define and implement the monetary policy of the euro area; to conduct foreign exchange operations; to hold and manage the official foreign reserves of the Member States; and to promote the smooth operation of payment systems. The process of decision-making in the ESCB is centralized through the decision-making bodies of the ECB, namely the ECB’s Executive Board and its Governing Councils.

The sole shareholders of the ECB are the NCBs of the Member States. Each NCB’s capital share is based on the respective Member State’s share in the population and the GDP of the EU. As of January 2, 2009, the OeNB had a share of 1.94% in the subscribed capital of the ECB.

By establishing the ECB, the participating Member States abandoned some of their sovereignty over monetary policy, but the NCBs retain all of the functions that are not transferred to the ECB.

The ECB requires credit institutions established in the participating Member States, including OKB, to hold minimum reserves on accounts with the national central banks, which, in OKB’s case, are held by OeNB. OKB calculates the minimum reserve requirements according to the relevant ECB regulations. The ECB may at any time change the reserve ratios. Liabilities to other institutions subject to the ECB’s minimum reserve system and liabilities to the ECB and the national central banks are not included in the reserve base.

Banking System

As of the end of 2008, Austria had a total of 867 independent banks (Kreditinstitute, or credit institutions), which are classified into seven sectors on the basis of their legal status:

 

   

51 joint stock banks and private bankers

 

72


Table of Contents
   

55 savings banks

 

   

11 regional mortgage banks

 

   

551 rural credit cooperatives

 

   

68 small business credit cooperatives

 

   

4 building and loan societies

 

   

94 special purpose banks

 

   

33 branches of foreign banks

While the number of credit institutions was three less than as of the end of 2007 (870 banks), the total number of branches and banking outlets decreased from 4,286 to 4,251.

Business Activity and Earnings Situation: The aggregate total assets of all Austrian-based credit institutions increased by 18.9% in 2008 compared with 2007. Loan demand grew by 7.4% in 2008. This increase was mainly carried by foreign currency-denominated loans, which gained 19%, while euro-denominated loans increased by 5.2% only. Growth of domestic nonbanks’ deposits accelerated to 7% in 2008. Demand deposits and time deposits grew by 5.8% and by 10.3% respectively, whereas savings deposits grew by 6.3%. Direct domestic issues by banks increased by 30.1% in 2008.

The total operating profit of all Austrian-based credit institutions rose by 37.1% in 2008. Net interest income increased significantly, and the ratio of net interest income to total operating income decreased by 2.21 percentage points, standing at 40.14% as of December 31, 2008. Income from securities and participating interests more than doubled in 2008 and exceeded the 2007 result by 104%. The balance on commissions decreased by 10.4%, and the net income from financial transactions turned negative and dropped by 380%. This translated into a ratio of operating profit to total assets of 0.85% for the year 2008, an increase of 0.11% compared to 2007. Operating income increased by 17.3%, and operating expenses increased by 5.2%. The cost/income ratio therefore improved by 6.4 percentage points and amounted to 55.6% in 2008.

The Interbank Market Support Act, the Financial Markets Stability Act and the Austrian Deposit Guarantee Scheme

In October 2008, in response to the international financial crisis, the Austrian Government released a package of measures for strengthening the Austrian financial system in an amount of up to EUR 100 billion. This overall package is based on the Financial Market Stability Act, the Interbank Market Support Act as well as the Austrian Banking Act and the Federal Finance Act 2008. The package, which in total represents up to 35% of Austrian GDP, was also notified to the European Commission.

The Interbank Market Support Act enables the Ministry of Finance to offer guarantees for banks’ bond issues up to EUR 75 billion in total and with a maximum tenor of five years and to assume liability for the lending and borrowing operations of the newly established clearing bank (“Oesterreichische Clearingbank AG”, “OeCAG”). As of July 17, 2009, Austrian banks issued EUR 17.8 billion of guaranteed debt pursuant to the Interbank Market Support Act.

The Financial Markets Stability Act authorises the Ministry of Finance to take recapitalisation measures on credit institutions and insurance companies supervised by the Financial Market Authority (FMA). Recapitalisation instruments include state guarantees for debt, granting of loans, provision of equity capital, acquisition of new shares or new convertible bonds, purchase of existing shares and acquisition of assets through merging. The overall maximum amount for capital injections has been set at EUR 15 billion. For the administration of the Financial Market Stability Act and for the management of the investments made hereunder, the “FIMBAG Finanzmarktbeteiligung Aktiengesellschaft des Bundes” (“FIMBAG”) was established. As of

Table of Contents

June 2009, FIMBAG acquired 99.78% of Kommunalkredit Austria and the following investments in the form of non-voting share capital have been agreed: EUR 1.2 billion with Erste Bank Group AG, EUR 1.75 billion with Raiffeisen Zentralbank Österreich Aktiengesellschaft, EUR 1 billion with Österreichische Volksbanken-Aktiengesellschaft and EUR 900 million with Hypo Group Alpe Adria.

Participation in the Deposit Guarantee Scheme (DGS) provided in the Austrian Banking Act is mandatory for all credit institutions with a license granted by the FMA and taking guaranteed deposits. Natural persons’ bank deposits are guaranteed without limit until the end of 2009. Afterwards, the guarantee is limited to EUR 100,000. Bank deposits of small companies are guaranteed up to EUR 50,000 (with a 10% non-refundable deductible). Deposits of other legal persons will be guaranteed up to EUR 20,000 (also with a 10% non-refundable deductible). The DGS has been established by the banking industry and must ensure that the deposits are paid up to a maximum amount of EUR 50,000. In case of failure to do so, the DGS has to issue bonds for which the Republic of Austria can issue a guarantee. The coverage of deposits exceeding the amount of EUR 50,000 will be guaranteed directly by the Republic of Austria. The amount allocated for providing the above mentioned guarantees has been set at EUR 10 billion.

Exposure to Eastern Europe Regions and Countries

The aggregate exposure of Austrian banking groups (excluding foreign owned institutions UniCredit Bank Austria and Hypo Group Alpe Adria) to Eastern Europe amounted to some EUR 199 billion in the third quarter 2008. Of this amount

 

   

73% are in EU-member countries;

 

   

40% are in A-rated countries by Moody’s;

 

   

26% are in countries for which Moody’s recently had “low” or “very low” liquidity concerns;

 

   

and 17% are in EURO-member countries (Slovakia, Slovenia).

As a result, as of the third quarter of 2008, no more than EUR 50 billion of Austrian banks’ exposure is located outside of the EU. As at the end of September 2008, Austrian banks’ receivables represented approximately 20% of the total exposure of EU-15 banks to the region (source: Bank for International Settlements—BIS) and approximately 28% of the total exposure of EU-banks including foreign owned banks to the region.

The Austrian bank rescue package comprises recapitalization instruments for the banking system as well as guarantees for debt issuance to up to 35% of GDP (see “The Interbank Market Support Act, the Financial Markets Stability Act and the Austrian Deposit Guarantee Scheme”). It is thus one of the major bank rescue packages in Europe, taking full account of the risk situation in Eastern Europe.

The measures provided by the Austrian support package will benefit banking groups as a whole and may also be used to provide further support to banks’ subsidiaries in Eastern Europe.

At the end of 2008, Austria’s public debt amounted to 62.5% of GDP. Full utilization of the recapitalization instruments pursuant to the Financial Markets Stability Act (EUR 15 billion) would raise the level of public debt by 5.3 percentage points. Austria’s AAA rating has recently been reconfirmed in March 2009 by the international rating agencies Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Fitch Ratings and Moody’s Investor Service.

Austria’s exposure to Eastern Europe is strongly diversified across regions. The lion’s share—more than 85%—of this exposure is funded by local deposits.

Monetary Policy

In order to fulfill the mandate of maintaining price stability, the EC Treaty accords the Eurosystem (term used to refer to the ECB and the NCBs of the Member States that have adopted the euro) a considerable degree of institutional independence, albeit supplemented by extensive obligations concerning transparency and accountability.

The Eurosystem’s stability-oriented monetary policy which was announced in October 1998 and thoroughly evaluated four and a half years after the introduction of the euro in May 2003, consists of three main elements: a

 

74


Table of Contents

quantitative definition of price stability, a broadly based assessment of the outlook for price developments, and a prominent role for money in the assessment of risks to price stability. The last two elements are also referred to as the two pillars which structure the comprehensive analysis on which monetary policy decisions are based. While the economic analysis identifies short to medium-term risks to price stability, the monetary analysis should help assessing medium to long-term trends in inflation.

The Eurosystem has a variety of monetary policy instruments at its disposal to manage liquidity. As an integral part of the Eurosystem, one of the main tasks of the OeNB is to carry out monetary policy operations in Austria.

The euro money market, in which the TARGET (Trans-European Automated Real-time Gross settlement Express Transfer System) payment system plays an important role, has continued to operate with increasing efficiency. The number of cross-border transactions was considerably higher than before the start of the Eurozone, and some banks managed at times to get liquidity in the unsecured segment at conditions at least as favorable as the minimum bid rate in the tender operations.

As of December 31, 2008, the Austrian share amounted to approximately 3.0% of the total Eurozone reserve requirement. The minimum reserve ratio applicable to the liability base of banks was left unchanged at 2% in 2008. In the course of 2008, required reserves increased by approximately EUR 600 million from approximately EUR 6.2 billion in December 2007 to EUR 6.8 billion in December 2008. Minimum reserves accrue interest on the basis of the marginal rate that the Eurosystem charges for its main refinancing operations. This means that at the beginning of the year, the rate was at 4.17% and decreased to 2.50% by December 2008.

The following table sets out Austria’s official reserve assets as at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006.

The ECB has exclusive authority for the issuance of banknotes within the eurozone area. Since Austria joined the EMU, the OeNB publishes data on the number of banknotes in circulation, calculated by the ECB in accordance with decision ECB/2001/15. According to these calculations, there were EUR 20,297 million banknotes in circulation in Austria as at December 31, 2008, EUR 18,053 million as at December 31, 2007 and 16,815 million as at December 31, 2006.

REVENUES AND EXPENDITURES

Federal Budget

The fiscal year for the federal budget is the calendar year. Prior to the beginning of each year, the federal government submits the proposed annual budget of estimated receipts and expenditures to the Nationalrat for approval. Any increase in expenditures requires again the approval by the Nationalrat of a special budget law authorizing such increase, except that the Federal Minister of Finance has limited discretionary authority to increase authorized expenditures provided that additional revenues are available. Budget deficits are financed by government borrowings either domestically or externally, and in the event that revenues are less than expected, a special budget law must be submitted to the Nationalrat authorizing the Minister of Finance to undertake additional borrowings. Since 1976, however, the Minister of Finance has been authorized to finance shortfalls in revenues of up to 3% of the anticipated amount shown in the basic budget without the approval of the Nationalrat if he determines that such revenue shortfalls resulted from a downturn in the business cycle, but the Minister of Finance is obliged to report to the Nationalrat on such operations quarterly.

Pursuant to the Federal Constitution of 1929 and a federal law adopted in 1948, the Rechnungshof (the Court of Accounts) is entrusted with the audit of the administration of the finances of the federal government and its constituent provinces and of their annual financial statements. The Rechnungshof is independent from the executive branch and reports directly to the Nationalrat. It is responsible, in essence, for the compilation of the budget outcome report to be submitted annually to the Nationalrat, for assistance in the contracting of indebtedness for moneys borrowed (federal debt documents have to be countersigned by the president of the Rechnungshof), for the control of administration expenditures, and for assistance in issuing certain government decrees.

In the years 2001 to 2003 Austria went through a period of weak economic growth that turned the fiscal balance into deficit again. The increase of the deficit for 2004 to 4.4% of GDP is mainly due to a reclassification of a capital injection into the Austrian railways as a capital transfer. The successful consolidation efforts of 2000 however allowed for the automatic stabilizers to work during the economic downswing as well as for a significant tax reform that started in 2005. Because of relatively favourable development of the business cycle from 2004 until 2007 and stringent budgetary policy, Austria succeeded in reducing the deficit to about 0.5% of GDP in 2007 and 2008 and the debt ratio to below 60% of GDP in 2007. In the forthcoming years, deficit and debt-ratios are expected to grow significantly as a consequence of the various support measures taken in response to the global economic crisis, such as state guarantees for debt, granting of loans etc. See “Republic of Austria—Banking System and Monetary Policy—Financial Markets Stabilization Measures”.

The federal accounts as set forth below for the years 2004 to 2007 have been audited by the Rechnungshof and approved by the Nationalrat. The accounts for 2008 are the preliminary results and are not yet audited and approved. For 2009, the budget draft as proposed by the government in April has now been finalized in the Bundesfinanzgesetz 2009 (BFG), which came into force on July 1, 2009. The accounts for 2009 represent the draft budgets as proposed by the government to the Nationalrat in April 2009.

Taxation

On January 1, 2005 a tax reform bill came into force. This tax reform lowered the tax burden by about EUR 2.5 billion, in particular by reducing the corporate income tax rate from 34% to 25% and by a modified personal income tax rate.

The principal taxes levied by Austria are personal income tax (including salary and wage tax), corporate income tax and value added tax (“VAT”). Personal income taxation is progressive, with a top marginal rate of 50% on taxable income in excess of EUR 51,000. For employees, this top marginal rate is reduced to about 43% by statutory tax allowances for 1/6 of the yearly income. For the corporate income tax there is a flat rate of 25%. The general VAT rate is 20%, and the reduced rate, mainly on food products, rents, passenger transport, books and newspapers and certain services, is 10%. In comparison to other European countries, effective direct taxation is low, while indirect taxation is above average.

Under Austrian law, a fraction of the taxes collected by the federal government must be remitted to the provinces and municipalities under a revenue-sharing plan. The fractions and the taxes involved, and the basis of distribution among the provincial and local entities, are negotiated periodically among federal and other government authorities. The latest agreement concluded in 2008 covers the period 2008 to 2013.

Austria is a party to tax treaties with 54 countries worldwide, including the United States.
