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 Stimmungslage unter den österreichischen Unternehmen verschlechterte sich im Dezember infolge der vierten Welle der COVID-19-Pandemie. Der WIFO-Konjunkturklimaindex notierte mit 12,0 Punkten (saisonbereinigt) rund 5,7 Punkte unter dem Wert des Vormonats (17,7 Punkte). Die Indexrückgänge sind jedoch stark in Sektoren und Branchen konzentriert, die direkt oder indirekt von der Pandemie und den Einschränkungsmaßnahmen besonders betroffen sind. Die Unternehmen erwarten für die nächsten Monate eine Abkühlung der Konjunkturdynamik.

Economic Climate Worsens, Large Differences Between Sectors. Results of the WIFO-Konjunkturtest (Business Cycle Survey) of December 2021
Sentiment among Austrian companies deteriorated in December as a result of the fourth wave of the COVID-19 pandemic. The WIFO Business Climate Index stood at 12.0 points (seasonally adjusted), about 5.7 points below the value of the previous month (17.7 points). However, the index declines are strongly concentrated in sectors and industries that are particularly affected, directly or indirectly, by the pandemic and its restriction measures. The companies expect economic momentum to cool in the coming months.
