Planned Manufacturing Investment Expected to Increase by 10 Percent in 2012. Results of the WIFO Autumn 2011 Investment Survey
According to the results of the WIFO Autumn 2011 Investment Survey, investment in manufacturing expressed in current prices
is expected to increase by 10 percent in 2012. While investment in machinery and equipment will expand (+12 percent), investment
in structures is set to decline (–16 percent). A look at broad manufacturing industry groups shows that while spending will
grow in the investment and intermediate goods industries, producers of consumer goods are expecting investment cuts. In 2012,
manufacturing firms also plan to raise investment in intangible assets (+15 percent).
