Franz Vranitzky is the third finance minister in Austria in the last five years. Unlike his predecessors, the charismatic Hannes Androsch, or the unfortunate Herbert Salcher, Vranitzky is a determinedly uncontroversial figure.

He has cut taxes; he has moved decisively to tackle the budget deficit.
