Die Hochschätzung anhand der Angaben der im WIFO-Investitionstest erfassten Unternehmen ergibt für 2020 in der Sachgütererzeugung insgesamt eine Expansion der realen Investitionen um 1,4% gegenüber 2019. Der Anstieg wird von Großunternehmen getragen. Kleine und mittelgroße Betriebe planen eine Einschränkung ihrer Investitionen. Insbesondere die Hersteller von Vorprodukten werden die Investitionen heuer ausweiten. Die Investitionen der Hersteller von dauerhaften Konsumgütern sind rückläufig. Für Österreichs Gesamtwirtschaft rechnet das WIFO 2020 mit einem realen Anstieg der Bruttoanlageinvestitionen um 1,8%.

Investment is Expected to Increase in Manufacturing in 2020. Results of the WIFO Autumn 2019 Investment Survey
The estimate based on the data of the manufacturing companies surveyed in the WIFO Investment Survey shows an expansion of real investments by 1.4 percent for 2020 compared to 2019. The increase is driven by large companies. Small and medium-sized enterprises plan to retrench investments. Manufacturers of intermediate products in particular will significantly increase their investments this year. Investment by manufacturers of durable consumer goods is expected to decline. For Austria's economy as a whole, WIFO expects an increase in gross fixed capital formation of 1.8 percent in real terms in 2020.
