SPÖ and GVV call for money provide regulation – make banks accountable
Vienna (OTS/SK) – There are fewer and less ATMs in Austria. The federal chairman of the Social Democratic Affiliation of Municipal Representatives (GVV) and SPÖ municipal spokesman Andreas Kollross emphasizes: “Nearly a yr in the past we identified that ATMs have been loss of life. A document from the ‘Oberösterreichische Nachrichten’ from the weekend confirms that we have been proper in our complaint. Other folks have a proper to their money. Subsequently, we keep on with our call for: 1 ATM for 1 group. Whilst the banks are making ever upper income, the availability of money is turning into increasingly more tough for the inhabitants.” The calls for of the SPÖ and GVV are transparent: folks have a proper to their money and banks have a mandate to supply it. ****
As figures from the Austrian Nationwide Financial institution display, home banks generated simply over 14 billion in benefit after taxes in 2023. This is a rise of greater than 30 p.c in comparison to the former yr. On the identical time, prices are handed directly to towns and municipalities as a result of banks occasionally call for utopian sums from municipalities to handle ATMs. Kollross says: “Banks see themselves extra as establishments that need to make not anything however income. The general public sector in rural communities is now an increasing number of anticipated to pay for banks to proceed to satisfy their provide mandate one day. This isn’t appropriate for us. We call for a money provide regulation.”
The Money Provide Act is the most important matter in Andi Babler’s “Middle and Mind” plan. If the SPÖ is represented within the subsequent executive, it’s going to marketing campaign for this. In particular, the Money Provide Act must include the next issues: 1. No less than one ATM in each group, 2. Legal responsibility of banks to provide money, 3. Prices are borne through the banking sector. “The black-green federal executive is permitting rural spaces to change into increasingly more starved. We can not settle for this,” concluded the GVV federal chairman. (ultimate) pok/ls
