o:950 SOPEMI Report on Labour Migration Austria 2018-19 Report of the Austrian SOPEMI correspondent to the OECD en From Mid-2018 onwards, Austrian economic growth slowed down, attaining 2.4% on an annual average vs 2017, after a real growth rate of 2.5% in 2017. In international comparison, the economic situation remained relatively stable due to favourable finance conditions, fiscal incentives to promote investments in the construction sector, and a resilient domestic consumer demand. In 2019, economic growth continued to lose momentum in the wake of weakening international trade, impacting negatively on export growth and industrial output. A decline to an economic growth rate of 1.6% annually vs 2018 is forecast by the Austrian National Bank as of December 2019, slightly below the 1.7% forecast of the Austrian Institute of Economic Research of December 2019. migration 1552100 978-3-903150-65-2 2020-08-05T09:06:25.669Z 44 no 46 Gudrun Biffl Donau-Universität Krems 2020-01-01 application/pdf 4805426 https://door.donau-uni.ac.at/o:950 no yes 18 70 55 Edition Donau‐Universität Krems
