The International Year of Cooperatives 2025 highlights the significance of cooperatives, which have over one billion members globally. In South Tyrol, the newly established Competence Center for the Management of Cooperatives is fostering innovation and collaboration to address social challenges, particularly in affordable housing and business succession. By promoting cooperative models, the center aims to enhance social inclusion and secure local jobs, ensuring the cooperative system's continued relevance and impact in the region.
Raiffeisenkasse Eisacktal reported a customer business volume of EUR 1.58 billion in 2024, with a 6% growth rate, despite a slight decline in loans. The bank's profit after tax reached EUR 10.4 million, bolstered by high interest rates, while significant investments in digital services and employee training underscored its commitment to innovation and sustainability. The cooperative's role in addressing societal challenges was highlighted during discussions on the relevance of cooperative values, emphasizing their importance in South Tyrol.
Financing criteria for cooperative associations have been adjusted to enhance transparency and reduce bureaucracy, according to Provincial Councillor Rosmarie Pamer. The changes, which affect major associations like Raiffeisenverband, aim to simplify auditing processes and ensure that only cooperatives with significant entrepreneurial activity are considered for contributions. This initiative is expected to streamline administrative tasks and improve legal certainty for cooperatives.
