Die österreichische Volkswirtschaft expandierte im I. Quartal 2018 gegenüber dem Vorquartal um 0,8% und damit ähnlich kräftig wie im Verlauf des Vorjahres. Neben einer lebhaften Binnenkonjunktur stützt auch der Außenhandel, angeregt von einer dynamischen Weltkonjunktur, das Wachstum. Im Einklang damit erholt sich der Arbeitsmarkt in Österreich weiter deutlich.

Positive Growth Continues
In the first quarter of 2018, the Austrian economy grew by 0.8 percent compared to the previous quarter, thus similar to the course of the previous year. Along with a buoyant domestic economy, that growth is underpinned by foreign trade, stimulated by a dynamic global economy. In line with that, the Austrian labour market is also continuing to show a positive trend.
