2023-11-05 15:00:01

Ten interest rate increases in a row, stubborn inflation and a common currency for 20 different countries: the euro moves people and it is perceived differently. The Austrian population has been paying with the euro for more than 20 years.

The Oesterreichische Nationalbank (OeNB) would like to talk to you about this and many other topics relating to the euro, interest rates, the future of cash and the history of our currency at the National Bank Forum. The event “Talk about the Euro!” will take place this Wednesday, November 8th, in the OÖN Forum in the Promenade Galleries in Linz. OeNB Governor Robert Holzmann will be present and discuss with the audience.

It starts at 5 p.m. (doors open at 4:30 p.m.). The event will last around one and a half hours. Afterwards, the Oesterreichische Nationalbank invites you to bread rolls and drinks.
