WIFO-Konjunkturtest

The WIFO-Konjunkturtest (business cycle survey) is a monthly survey of Austrian companies on their economic situation and its development in the coming months. The results of the WIFO-Konjunkturtest help to reliably assess the economic development in Austria at an early stage. The WIFO-Konjunkturtest has been conducted since 1954 and has been part of the "Joint Harmonised EU Programme of Business and Consumer Surveys" since 1996.

Die Konjunktureinschätzungen der österreichischen Unternehmen bleiben trotz weiterer Verbesserung im August skeptisch. Zwar stieg der WIFO-Konjunkturklimaindex (saisonbereinigt) um 4,3 Punkte, er lag aber mit –10,7 Punkten im negativen Bereich. Während sich die Einschätzungen der aktuellen Lage im August weiter verbesserten, schwächte sich die Dynamik der unternehmerischen Erwartungen deutlich ab.

Economic Expectations Lose Momentum. Results of the WIFO-Konjunkturtest (Business Cycle Survey) August 2020
The economic assessments of Austrian companies remain skeptical despite further improvement in August. Although the WIFO economic climate index (seasonally adjusted) rose by 4.3 points, it was still in negative territory at –10.7 points. While the assessments of the current situation continued to rise in August, the momentum of business expectations was clearly weakening.
