| Zusammenfassung: | The global economic crisis leaves deep traces in the EU countries. In Austria, too, GDP will suffer a marked decline by 2.2 percent this year. While exports and investment are falling steeply, consumption will maintain a moderate upward path due to the counter-cyclical policy action taken. The labour market will suffer job losses and a strong increase in unemployment. As a result of the worldwide economic stimulus measures, Austrian GDP should pick up by a modest 0.5 percent in 2010. |
