Austrian Court of Audit flags misincentives in insolvency wage fund

Austria's Court of Audit preliminary report criticizes the Insolvency Wage Compensation Fund for creating misincentives due to generous payments, while the fund is depleted and the ÖGB calls for higher employer contributions. The report suggests that current rules may encourage premature insolvency filings or reduce job-search incentives. This is a domestic policy issue with fiscal implications, but no immediate market impact.
