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 Ergebnisse des WIFO-Konjunkturtests vom Oktober zeigen eine weitere Eintrübung der Konjunkturstimmung in den österreichischen Unternehmen. Der WIFO-Konjunkturklimaindex notierte mit 2,9 Punkten (saisonbereinigt) 2,4 Punkte unter dem Wert des Vormonats (5,3 Punkte) und nur noch knapp im positiven Bereich. Die Einschätzungen der aktuellen Lage verschlechterten sich weiter, bleiben aber noch in positiven Bereichen. Die unternehmerische Unsicherheit stieg allerdings auf neue Höchstwerte. Die Konjunkturerwartungen trübten sich deutlich ein und signalisieren mehrheitlich pessimistische Konjunkturausblicke.
