At \u20135.2 points (seasonally adjusted), the WIFO Business Climate Index in January was 0.8 points above the previous month's value (\u20136.0 points). This economic picture continues to be determined by the weak industrial economy, although economic sentiment in the construction industry also deteriorated at the start of the year. Overall economic situation assessments improved but remained below average. Overall economic expectations did not change compared to the previous month and remained mostly sceptical.","onlinedate":"2025-01-30 14:00:00","lang":"German","publication_series":"","publication_date":"20250130","publication_date_year":"","publication_date_full":true,"publication_num_pages":"13","keywords":"[\"KT_Aktuell\"]","jelcodes":"[]","related_publications":"[]","pdf":421421,"zip":null,"link":"","monthly_report":true,"monthly_report_main":false,"monthly_report_volume":"","monthly_report_pages":"","monthly_report_pages_sort":"0","issue":"1","journal":"WIFO-Konjunkturtest","publisher":"","invisible":false,"external":false,"embargo_date":"2025-01-30 14:00:00","types":[44466],"research_groups":[3491,3500,3481],"collaboration":"","persons":[3607,3537,3731,3488],"persons_data":"[{\"personId\":3607,\"personName\":\"Werner H\u00f6lzl\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3537,\"personName\":\"J\u00fcrgen Bierbaumer\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3731,\"personName\":\"Michael Klien\",\"organisationNames\":[]},{\"personId\":3488,\"personName\":\"Agnes K\u00fcgler\",\"organisationNames\":[]}]","clients":[10646],"subclients":[],"partners":[],"topics":[],"host_publication_title":"","host_publication_subtitle":"","place_of_publication":"","host_publication_editors":"[]","type_description":"","output_media":"","chapter":"","article_number":"","citations":"{\"apa\":\"
