Gemäß der aktuellen Schnellschätzung des WIFO stieg das reale Bruttoinlandsprodukt in Österreich im IV. Quartal 2016 gegenüber der Vorperiode um 0,5% (Trend-Konjunktur-Komponente). Damit war die Grunddynamik der heimischen Konjunktur im IV. Quartal gleich jener des Vorquartals. Maßgebend für den Zuwachs war die inländische Nachfrage, während von der Außenwirtschaft kein wesentlicher Impuls ausging. Das Bild der Vorlaufindikatoren verbessert sich weiter und deutet auf eine sich verstärkende Konjunktur im Frühjahr 2017 hin.

Domestic Demand Drives Economic Upswing in Austria
Austria's real gross domestic product rose by 0.5 percent, quarter on quarter, in the fourth quarter of 2016, according to WIFO's latest flash estimate (trend-cycle component). Hence the underlying pace of economic expansion in Austria in the fourth quarter was unchanged from the previous quarter. Domestic demand was the main driver of the expansion, whereas net trade did not contribute significantly to growth. The picture painted by leading indicators is improving further, suggesting that economic activity will accelerate in spring 2017.
