WIFO-Konjunkturtest

The WIFO-Konjunkturtest (business cycle survey) is a monthly survey of Austrian companies on their economic situation and its development in the coming months. The results of the WIFO-Konjunkturtest help to reliably assess the economic development in Austria at an early stage. The WIFO-Konjunkturtest has been conducted since 1954 and has been part of the "Joint Harmonised EU Programme of Business and Consumer Surveys" since 1996.

Die Konjunktureinschätzungen der österreichischen Unternehmen blieben im Oktober mehrheitlich skeptisch. Der WIFO-Konjunkturklimaindex (+0,1 Punkte) lag mit –9,4 Punkten neuerlich im negativen Bereich. Insgesamt beurteilten die Unternehmen die aktuelle Lage und die Entwicklung der nächsten Monate (unternehmerische Erwartungen) nach wie vor verhalten. Während sich das Konjunkturklima in der Sachgütererzeugung etwas verbesserte, flachte die Dynamik in den Dienstleistungsbranchen und in der Bauwirtschaft wieder ab.

Despite Improvement in the Manufacturing Sector, Economic Momentum is Flattening Out. Results of the WIFO-Konjunkturtest (Business Cycle Survey) of October 2020
In October, the majority of Austrian companies' economic outlook remained sceptical. The WIFO economic climate index (+0.1 points) stayed in negative territory at –9.4 points. The assessments of the current situation and the dynamics of corporate expectations remained subdued. While the economic assessments were improving in the manufacturing sector, the service and construction sectors were losing economic momentum again.
