The Austrian economy has seen third quarter GDP growth of 0.3 percent
matching that of the quarter prior, the Austrian Institute of Economic
Research (WIFO) said late on Friday.
The result matches WIFO's
preliminary estimate made at the end of October. It said positive
impulses from exports, trade, and industry as well as an expansion of
fixed capital investments all contributed to the continued growth,
XInhua news agency reported.
Gross fixed capital investments in
construction and equipment in particular contributed strongly to growth,
with an improvement from 0.5 percent in the second quarter to 0.6
percent.
The improvement in industrial activity of 0.7 percent in
the third quarter occurred on the back of improved momentum in the
manufacturing sector, and marks a continued improvement following a
sluggish second half of 2014.
Consumer demand has, however, again
remained subdued, with overall expansion of only 0.1 percent. While
public consumption did see more dynamic growth of 0.3 percent, private
consumption was weaker at only 0.1 percent.
WIFO said
year-on-year the economy has overall grown one percent. In its last
forecast in September, the institute expected 0.7 percent growth for the
domestic economy for the full year and 1.4 percent for 2016, with its
next forecast due mid-December.
