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 Ergebnisse des WIFO-Konjunkturtests zeigen im März eine leichte Verbesserung der weiterhin insgesamt skeptischen Konjunkturbeurteilungen. Der WIFO-Konjunkturklimaindex notierte mit –7,1 Punkten (saisonbereinigt) zwar um 2,6 Punkte über dem Wert des Vormonats (–9,7 Punkte), blieb aber im negativen Bereich. Der Anstieg ist vor allem auf verbesserte Konjunkturerwartungen zurückzuführen, während die Lagebeurteilungen gegenüber dem Vormonat stabil blieben. Das skeptische Konjunkturbild wird nach wie vor von der sehr schwachen Industrie- und Baukonjunktur bestimmt, während sich die Stimmung unter den Dienstleistern verbesserte.

Economic Expectations Point to Stabilisation. Results of the WIFO-Konjunkturtest (Business Cycle Survey) of March 2024
The results of the WIFO-Konjunkturtest (business cycle survey) in March show a slight improvement in the generally sceptical assessment of the economy. At –7.1 points (seasonally adjusted), the WIFO Business Cycle Index was 2.6 points above the previous month's value (–9.7 points) but remained in negative territory. The increase is primarily due to improved economic expectations, while situation assessments remained stable compared to the previous month. The sceptical economic picture continues to be determined by the very weak economic situation in manufacturing and construction, while the mood among service providers has improved.
