Abstract

Im April 2020 wurden im Rahmen des WIFO-Konjunkturtests Sonderfragen zur COVID-19-Pandemie gestellt. Die Befragungsergebnisse zeigen die dramatischen Auswirkungen der COVID-19-Krise auf die Unternehmen in Österreich. Demnach erwarten die Unternehmen heuer Umsatzeinbußen von durchschnittlich 21%. Rund 35% geben an, bei Fortbestand der Maßnahmen zur Bekämpfung der Ausbreitung des Virus SARS-CoV-2 höchstens drei Monate überstehen zu können. Die Mehrzahl hat bereits mit Maßnahmen auf die COVID-19-Krise reagiert. Unternehmen, die stärker von der COVID-19-Krise betroffen sind, reagieren stärker mit Einsparungen im operativen und finanziellen Bereich sowie hinsichtlich der Investitionen. Dies hat das Potential, die Krise zu verschärfen. Die staatlichen Gegenmaßnahmen werden von der Mehrzahl der befragten Unternehmen als hilfreich eingeschätzt.
