Confidence is at the heart of Chancellor Christian Stocker's Christmas letter to the "Krone" and its readers. "The year 2025 was not an easy year. Many people are feeling the strain, many are experiencing uncertainty in everyday life, at work and in a changing world," writes the Chancellor.

"The geopolitical conditions are difficult and have a noticeable impact on our country. However, we must not be discouraged, especially in times like these," the head of government appeals. Austrians are characterized by their ability to accept challenges and emerge stronger from crises.

"Will emerge stronger from the crisis"
"I am convinced that we will succeed this time too. With consistent work, a spirit of innovation, determination and the conviction that togetherness is stronger than division. And that Austria is much stronger than we sometimes give ourselves credit for."

We are stronger than we often give ourselves credit for.

Kanzler Stocker zeigt Zuversicht

As Federal Chancellor, his top priority is to work on Austria's recovery. "To achieve this, it is necessary to reduce inflation to two percent in the coming year, to achieve at least one percent economic growth and to show zero tolerance towards those who endanger our society and our free way of life," Stocker repeats his "2-1-0 formula". At the same time, sustainable reforms are being worked on.

Christmas is a time to pause for thought. A time to realize what really matters: Family, friendship and cohesion in our society. "I wish you and your loved ones a merry and blessed Christmas, reflective holidays and lots of energy and confidence for the new year 2026," Stocker concluded his letter.
