Abstract

Die "Sparpakete" zur Konsolidierung der öffentlichen Haushalte haben die Einkommensentwicklung der Österreicher in den Jahren 1996 und 1997 deutlich gedämpft. Obwohl die privaten Haushalte darauf mit einer signifikanten Verringerung ihrer Sparneigung reagierten (d. h. ein größerer Teil ihres Einkommens floß in den Konsum) und dadurch den restriktiven fiskalischen Effekt abfederten, stieg die private Konsumnachfrage in diesen beiden Jahren nur mäßig. Aufgrund der Konjunkturerholung und des Wegfalls der dämpfenden Effekte der Fiskalpolitik nahm im 1. Halbjahr 1998 der Konsum der privaten Haushalte wieder kräftig zu, und die Sparquote erhöhte sich. Von der günstigen Entwicklung der Konsumnachfrage der Inländer sowie der Besserung im Tourismus profitierte der heimische Einzelhandel. Für das Weihnachtsgeschäft zeichnen sich heuer Zuwächse ab.
