Engaging with the public
Informing the public about the Eurosystem’s monetary policy is an important part of the OeNB’s job. How does the euro work? Why is price stability important? What role does the European Central Bank play? By providing clear and accessible answers to such questions, the OeNB helps strengthen confidence in the euro and promotes a better understanding of the economy.
Press and media relations
The OeNB regularly informs journalists about current issues through press releases and media events as well as background briefings and interviews with members of the Governing Board. It also distributes press releases by the European Central Bank.
Through information campaigns in Austrian media, we explain key topics such as the euro, price stability, payment systems and the role of the OeNB. The aim is to strengthen confidence in our common currency and to make economic issues easier to understand.
Events and dialogue
The OeNB offers a wide range of events: from multi-day conferences and press conferences to seminars, workshops and lecture series.
