Der Rückstau der Abgastests zog in der deutschen Autoindustrie einen erheblichen Lageraufbau und Produktionsausfälle nach sich. Auch in Österreich verlangsamte sich das Wachstum der Industrieproduktion. Diese Dämpfung ist aber nicht eindeutig auf die Autozulieferindustrie zurückzuführen. Die Lage auf dem Arbeitsmarkt verbesserte sich im November weiter. Die Verteuerung von Energie dürfte im Oktober ihren Höhepunkt erreicht haben.

Production Dent in the Automotive Industry Hampers Growth, Especially in Germany
The backlog of exhaust emission tests led to a considerable build-up of inventories and production losses in the German automotive industry. Growth in industrial production also slowed down in Austria. However, this setback is not clearly linked to the automotive supply industry. The situation on the labour market continued to improve in November. The rise in energy prices should have peaked in October.
