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 zweite COVID-19-Welle hält die österreichische Wirtschaft im Griff. Die Stimmung unter den österreichischen Unternehmen bleibt angespannt. Der WIFO-Konjunkturklimaindex fiel im Jänner 2021 auf –11,4 Punkte, nach –11,0 Punkten im Dezember des Vorjahres. Die Beurteilungen der aktuellen Lage bleiben skeptisch; auch die Erwartungen der Unternehmen fallen etwas pessimistischer aus als noch im Dezember. Die Unternehmen rechnen weiterhin mehrheitlich damit, dass die COVID-19-Krise die Geschäftslage in den nächsten Monaten prägen wird.
