Abstract

Die mittel- und osteuropäischen Länder (MOEL) stellen wichtige Zielländer für die Direktinvestitions-Aktivitäten österreichischer Unternehmen und Banken dar. Seit 2001 entfielen stets über 50% der gesamten ausländischen Direktinvestitionen (FDI) auf diese Region, was sich erst 2009 durch die globale Wirtschaftskrise änderte. Umgekehrt ist Österreich für viele MOEL einer der wichtigsten FDI-Investoren. Der Finanzsektor spielt bei den FDI Österreichs eine bedeutende Rolle – mehr als die Hälfte der FDI-Bestände entfallen auf den Finanzsektor. Die globale Wirtschaftskrise hat auch die MOEL 2009 stark getroffen, mit Auswirkungen unter anderem auf den Finanzsektor. Für die in den MOEL engagierten österreichischen Banken ist vor allem der prononcierte Anstieg der notleidenden Kredite in mehreren Ländern der Region problematisch. Dies erfordert zusätzlichen Mittelbedarf – auch bei den Muttergesellschaften – für Risikovorsorgen und Kreditabschreibungen. Trotz dieser ungünstigen Entwicklungen scheinen, zumindest einige der österreichischen Banken, ihre Expansionsstrategie in der MOEL-Region fortzusetzen, denn für 2010 wurden bereits neue FDI-Projekte österreichischer Banken angekündigt, was für die wirtschaftliche Entwicklung in der Region durchaus positiv zu werten ist.
