Im Jahresdurchschnitt 2015 lag die Cash-Flow-Umsatz-Relation in der österreichischen Sachgütererzeugung mit 9,2% deutlich über dem Vorjahreswert von 8,4%. 2016 wird sie voraussichtlich auf hohem Niveau verharren. Die Zunahme ging mit einer robusten Entwicklung der realen Bruttowertschöpfung der Sachgütererzeugung einher (2015 +1,8%, 2016 +1,7%). Die Cash-Flow-Quote dürfte sich gemäß der Schätzung mit einem dynamischen panelökonometrischen Modell für die Branchen der Sachgütererzeugung im Jahr 2017 weiterhin positiv entwickeln.

Cash-Flow-to-Sales Ratio 2016 Remains Stable at a High Level. Profitability of Austrian Manufacturing Sector
In 2015, the cash-flow-to-sales ratio of the Austrian manufacturing sector reached an estimated 9.2 percent, exceeding the previous year's ratio of 8.4 percent. The ratio is likely to have remained at that level in 2016. This increase in manufacturing profitability is due to the sector's sound economic growth performance. The sector's value added growth rate amounted to 1.7 percent in 2016 and 1.8 percent in 2015. According to further estimates of a dynamic, panel-econometric model at industry level, the cash-flow-to-sales ratio in manufacturing will continue its upward movement in 2017.
