Die Einschätzung der künftigen Wirtschaftsentwicklung durch die österreichischen Industriebetriebe verschlechterte sich im Februar nicht weiter, optimistische und pessimistische Bewertungen halten einander nun nahezu die Waage. Vor dem Hintergrund eines schwachen Welthandels ergeben sich auch positive Konjunktursignale: In Deutschland scheint sich die Lage in der Autobranche zu stabilisieren, und der Handelskonflikt zwischen China und den USA entspannt sich.

Industry's Assessment of the Future Stabilises
The assessment of future economic development by Austrian industrial companies did not deteriorate further in February, optimistic and pessimistic assessments now almost balance each other out. Against the backdrop of weak world trade, there are also positive economic signals: in Germany, the situation in the automotive sector appears to be stabilising and the trade conflict between China and the USA is easing.
