| Zusammenfassung: | The current cyclical slowdown world-wide should prove short-lived; over the medium term, the Austrian economy is set to expand at an average 2.4 percent p.a. Major stimulus will come from exports, spreading to private investment.

The rate of unemployment (as calculated by the labour market service) will first remain flat, before abating to 5.2 percent by 2005. |
