3 Austrian Economy Overview 9 Revision ) Revision ) Revision ) Revision ) GDP (real, in %) Inflation (CPI in %)..9.. ) Revision since the last report of March Strong first quarter growth forecast for revised upwards to. per cent Inflation climbs to. per cent in April expected to peak at ½ per cent in the summer Retail sales stagnate in the first quarter outlook less favourable than in the previous year Labour market improvement accelerates momentum will ease as the year progresses Exceptionally dynamic growth of exports and industry in the early part of the year from now on, slowdown in export activity and more moderate industrial output Strong tax revenues robust economic growth and inflationary trend enable the government to exceed the targets for its financial plan for - In the first quarter of, economic growth again accelerated slightly over the already dynamic performance seen at the end of. The strong impetus from foreign demand was supported by the domestic economy, especially investments, which resulted in GDP growth of. per cent over the previous quarter. In a year-on-year comparison, economic growth again exceeded per cent for the first time since the middle of 7. The growth rate has now passed its peak level and will slow in the subsequent quarters. Following the good start to the year we now expect GDP growth of. per cent for. Inflation continued its upward trend in April. At. per cent y-o-y, it has climbed to its highest level in two and a half years. While inflation continues to be driven mainly by commodity prices (crude oil, agricultural commodities), it is in Austria also fuelled by the impacts of the fiscal measures (currently the tax on air fares) as well as a noticeable rise in prices for services, such as rent. In light of the current supply-demand trend, there is no sign of inflationary pressure from economic expansion. Driven by commodity prices and initial second-round effects, the inflation rate will in the coming months exceed per cent, which is well above the ECB s target figure (max. per cent). We expect an average inflation rate of. per cent for. The first three months have not seen an increase in retail sales in real terms. The general environment (slowdown in the improvement in employment, higher inflation, slight easing of global economic growth, budget consolidation) is less favourable than in the previous year. Retail sales in will fall short of the very good result of the previous year (+. per cent). The situation on the labour market continued to improve in the first four months. Employment has risen by an average.8 per cent and unemployment has declined by per cent. While this improvement will continue in the next few months, it will probably lose some of its momentum. The favourable labour market trend will, towards the end of, offset the sharp crisis-induced decline in employment, but this will not yet be the case with unemployment. In the first quarter, economic growth was in large part driven by the stronger momentum of exports, with industry benefiting substantially from this trend. The volume of new orders and orders on hand at the beginning of the second quarter suggests that foreign demand is losing momentum, prompting Austria s industry to enter calmer waters. We still expect industrial output to grow by about per cent in, only a little below the strong.7 per cent growth seen in the previous year. Strong foreign demand we expect nominal merchandise exports to expand by over per cent will continue to drive industrial expansion. The continued strong economic upturn, and inflation which has meanwhile risen to over per cent, should in the current year enable the government to reduce the budget deficit to.9% of GDP as planned. Indeed, they may even give the government a better starting position for the financial plan for the period - that was adopted in the middle of May. It is therefore not to be ruled out that new debt may fall to below per cent, possibly in the coming year. This would then pave the way for slower growth of total public debt, which according to the financial plan is anticipated to rise to up to 7. per cent of GDP (). Bank Austria page May
