The Austrian economy advanced 3.6 percent over a quarter in the three months ending June 2021, slower than early estimates of a 4.3 percent expansion but marked a firm recovery from a downwardly revised 0.2 percent contraction in the first quarter. A key growth driver, final consumption expenditure rebounded solidly (3.1 percent vs -0.8 percent in Q1), particularly household consumption (3.3 percent vs -1.6 percent), as the vaccination drive facilitated the lifting of COVID-19 restrictions. In addition, net trade contributed positively to the GDP growth, underpinned by a sharp hike in exports (7.1 percent vs -2.9 percent) and falling imports (-2.1 percent vs 2.3 percent). Lastly, gains were capped by a steep drop in fixed investment (-6.4 percent vs 11.6 percent). On a yearly basis, Austria's economy rebounded by 12.0 percent in the second quarter, slightly faster than a preliminary estimate of 11.4 percent, following an upwardly revised 4.8 percent contraction. source: Oesterreichische Nationalbank

Austria Q2 GDP Growth Beats Expectations

A sharp rebound in household consumption (3.8 percent vs -3.5 percent in Q1) following the easing of COVID-19 restrictions was offset by softer increases in fixed investment (2.1 percent vs 3.3 percent) and government spending (0.2 percent vs 1.0 percent). In addition, net trade contributed positively to the GDP growth as exports rose more than imports. On a yearly basis, Austria's economy rebounded 11.4 percent in the second quarter, following five straight quarters of contraction.

Austria GDP Growth Beats Estimates in Q1
Austria's gross domestic product edged higher by 0.2% on quarter in the three months to March of 2021, following a 2.7% contraction in the previous period and beat market expectations of a 2.5% drop, a preliminary estimate showed. The expansion was mainly attributed to a consolidated growth in fixed investment (1.7% vs 0.4% in Q4) and an improvement in net external demand, as exports fell 1.0% (vs -0.2% in Q4) and imports decreased a faster 1.5% (vs 2.1% in Q4). Meantime, restrictive measures to contain the pandemic continued to weigh on household consumption (-0.2% vs -5.2%), while government spending also weighed down on GDP (-0.3% vs 1.6%). On the production scope, the most heavily affected sectors continue to be tourism, trade, transport, and other services, while industrial activities such as mining and construction have consolidated growth in output. Year-on-year, the economy retreated 2.7%, following an upwardly revised 5.9% contraction in the previous quarter.
