Die Weltwirtschaft ist weiterhin auf Erholungskurs. Während das BIP in China und den USA im I. Quartal 2021 anstieg, sank die Wirtschaftsleistung im Euro-Raum gegenüber dem Vorquartal. Vertrauensindikatoren von April lassen jedoch auch für den Euro-Raum eine Erholung erwarten. In Österreich hellte sich die Stimmung der Unternehmen auf breiter Basis auf, auch im Dienstleistungsbereich. Die Inflation zog im März aufgrund der Verteuerung von Energieprodukten an.

Economic Prospects Improve
The global economy remains on course for recovery. While GDP in China and the USA increased in the first quarter of 2021, economic output in the euro area decreased compared with the previous quarter. However, confidence indicators from April also point to a recovery in the euro area. In Austria, business sentiment brightened across the board, including in the service sector. Inflation picked up in March due to the increase in the cost of energy products.
