In der Weltwirtschaft dürfte die Abkühlungsphase allmählich zu Ende gehen. In den USA und im Euro-Raum wuchs die Wirtschaft im III. Quartal ähnlich stark wie im Vorquartal. Die Stimmung trübte sich dort zuletzt nicht mehr weiter ein. Auch in Österreich blieb die Konjunkturdynamik bislang intakt, die Wirtschaft wuchs im III. Quartal unverändert um 0,2%. In der Herstellung von Waren sank die Wertschöpfung jedoch. Die Konjunktureinschätzungen der Unternehmen stabilisierten sich jüngst etwas, in der Sachgütererzeugung sind die Erwartungen allerdings weiterhin skeptisch. Die Erholung auf dem Arbeitsmarkt verlangsamt sich seit Jahresbeginn. Die Inflation lässt weiter nach.

Cautious Signs of Economic Stabilisation
The global cool-down is likely to bottom out gradually. In the USA and the euro area, economic growth in the third quarter was similarly strong as in the previous quarter. Sentiment did not deteriorate further in these countries recently. Economic momentum in Austria has also remained intact to date, with the business activity continuing to grow by 0.2 percent in the third quarter. In the manufacturing sector, however, value added declined. Companies' assessments of the economy have recently stabilised somewhat, although expectations remain sceptical in the manufacturing sector. The recovery on the labour market has slowed since the beginning of the year. Inflation continues to ease.
