Abstract

Die Ergebnisse des WIFO-Konjunkturtests zeigen seit Mitte 2018 eine Abkühlung der Konjunktur. Insbesondere in der Sachgütererzeugung schätzen die Unternehmen die Konjunktur mittlerweile mehrheitlich skeptisch ein. Die WIFO-Konjunkturampel bestätigt die Eintrübung der Stimmung im österreichischen Unternehmenssektor. Dementsprechend steigt die Unsicherheit wieder, der Unsicherheitsindikator liegt aber noch unter dem Durchschnitt der letzten fünf Jahre. Die Kapazitätsauslastung blieb im Oktober im langfristigen Vergleich hoch, die Entwicklung flachte aber insbesondere in der Sachgütererzeugung und der Bauwirtschaft ab. Diese Tendenz bestätigen auch die Angaben der Unternehmen zu den Hindernissen für ihre Tätigkeit: Zunehmend wird hier der Faktor "Mangel an Nachfrage" genannt, allerdings beschränkt vor allem auf die Sachgütererzeugung. Meistgenanntes Hindernis ist nach wie vor der "Mangel an Arbeitskräften".
