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 Stimmung unter den österreichischen Unternehmen bleibt skeptisch. Der WIFO-Konjunkturklimaindex notierte im Februar mit –11,0 Punkten (saisonbereinigt) weiter im negativen Bereich und veränderte sich zum Vormonat kaum. Die Unternehmen blieben in ihren Lagebeurteilungen sehr zurückhaltend. Die Erwartungen stiegen zwar gegenüber dem Vormonat leicht an, verbesserten sich aber nur unwesentlich. Die zweite COVID-19-Welle hält die österreichische Wirtschaft weiter fest im Griff. In Branchen, die direkt oder indirekt stark von behördlichen Einschränkungen betroffen sind, ist die Stimmung schlecht.

Economic Forecasts Remain Sceptical. Results of the WIFO-Konjunkturtest (Business Cycle Survey) of February 2021
The mood among Austrian companies remains sceptical. The WIFO business climate index continued to be negative in February at –11.0 points (seasonally adjusted), almost unchanged from the previous month. Companies remained very cautious in their assessments of the current situation. Although expectations rose slightly compared to the previous month, they did not show any clear improvement. The second COVID-19 wave continues to keep the Austrian economy firmly in its grip. In sectors that are directly or indirectly strongly affected by the COVID-19 restrictive measures, the mood is bad.
