Austria has a highly developed economy that relies heavily on services such as banking and finance (Vienna Stock Exchange) as well as tourism (Vienna State Opera). Other important industries include manufacturing (automobiles), pharmaceuticals (Boehringer Ingelheim) and energy (hydropower).

Austria is part of the Central European Time Zone (CET), which is one hour ahead of Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). This means that when it is 12 noon on GMT, it is 1 PM in Austria. The daylight savings time in Austria follows the same pattern as most countries around the world, with clocks being moved forward by one hour during summer months. The months when daylight savings time applies to Austria are March through October. During these months, people living in Austria set their clocks one hour ahead of CET to take advantage of more daylight hours during summer months. This means that when it is 12 noon on GMT, it is 2 PM during daylight savings time in Austria. Setting clocks an hour ahead also allows for more evening activities such as outdoor events and sports activities to be enjoyed by citizens of the country. In order to adjust to different international time zones, Austrians often use a combination of digital and analog clocks which can be adjusted accordingly. The use of digital clocks allows for quick adjustment between different time zones while analog clocks are used for easier readability in areas with limited access to electricity or digital devices. It’s important for Austrians to be aware of international time zones so they can better coordinate with people from other countries who may have different schedules than Austrians do.
