91ST Euroconstruct Conference

摘要

On June 10, the 91 st biannual Euroconstruct conference opened in Vienna, Austria. The much-anticipated two-day event provides analysis of the construction markets of 19 member nations - primarily EU member states, but also Norway, Switzerland and the UK. The organisation boasts members within almost all Western European nations, as well as four Central Eastern nations, giving it a broad and measured overview of the European construction sector. The latest conference was hosted, virtually, by the Austrian Institute of Economic Research and economic overviews were heard from, among others, Raiffeisen Bank International and the Austrian National Bank.In introducing the conference, Christoph Badelt, from the Austrian Institute of Economic Research, was keen to remind the audience that construction sector is "one of the most dynamic sectors in the economy" and stressed that, throughout the course of the pandemic, from an Austrian perspective, construction had fared better than the total economy.
