Economic Forecast
IHS Economic Forecasts for the current and following year are published quarterly: they represent a key output of the institute that is well-known among the general public. Further products include the annual Medium-term Forecast covering the subsequent five years and regional forecasts for some federal provinces.
The next economic forecast will be presented on 7 October, 10.00 am in a press conference at WIFO. The presentation will be live streamed via wifo.tv.
