Sachgütererzeugung weitet 2012 Investitionen aus – Abwärtsrevision in der Bauwirtschaft. Ergebnisse des WIFO-Investitionstests
vom Frühjahr 2012 (Manufacturers Increase their Investment in 2012 – Downward Revision in the Construction Industry. Results of the WIFO Spring
2012 Investment Sur-vey)
Die vom WIFO-Investitionstest erfassten Unternehmen der Sachgütererzeugung planen für 2012 eine Ausweitung der Investitionen
um nominell 9%. Die befragten Bauunternehmen werden ihre Investitionen hingegen um nominell 10% kürzen. Für Österreichs Gesamtwirtschaft
rechnet das WIFO 2012 mit einem Anstieg der Bruttoanlageinvestitionen um real 1,1%. Die Chancen, dass die Vorhaben 2012 vollständig
realisiert werden, haben sich allerdings in den letzten zwei Monaten mit der internationalen Konjunktureintrübung verschlechtert.

Manufacturers Increase their Investment in 2012 – Downward Revision in the Construction Industry. Results of the WIFO Spring
2012 Investment Sur-vey
According to the results of the WIFO Spring 2012 Investment Survey, investment in manufacturing expressed in current prices
is expected to increase by 9 percent in 2012. The increase will be greater for investment in equipment (+14 percent) than
for investment in structures (+3 percent). A detailed look at broad manufacturing industry groups shows that the increase
will be most pronounced in investment and intermediate goods, with an increase of 12 percent and 14 percent, respectively.
In contrast, the consumer goods industry does not expect any growth of its investment rate. In 2012, manufacturing firms will
also raise their investment in intangible assets (+8 percent). In 2011, construction firms invested 11 percent more than in
the previous year. Nevertheless, investment levels remained moderate compared to pre-crisis levels. In 2012, construction
firms intend to lower their total investments by 10 percent in response to the weak macroeconomic environment. Investment
in machinery and equipment as well as in buildings will be affected.
