The customs break between the US and China could also support the economy of Austria. The Economic Research Institute (WIFO) assumes that domestic exports to the United States will increase by 1.4 percent. At the same time, import prices must recover easily.
According to the model, the price level drops by around 0.44 percent. This development can help to somewhat dampen the continuous inflation pressure. According to the simulation, global trade errors will not fully deteriorate. According to Wifo, production in Austria is falling by 0.18 percent. This is a sign that indirect effects on markets would work on the third party.
“Austria is largely saved from the direct consequences of the American Chinese trade conflict, but benefits relaxation in the short term,” said Wifo-trading economist Hendrik Mahlkow. Europe must use this phase to strengthen foreign management resilience. “In the coming months, volatile will remain – a return to stable global trade rules is not yet in sight.”
The governments of the United States and China had agreed to considerably reduce the rates for 90 days on Monday. The American rates for Chinese import decrease to 30 percent (located at 145 percent), China’s surcharges against imports from the United States are falling to ten percent (from 125).
American inflation was surprisingly dilated in April and therefore the month of customs announcements. It was 2.3 percent. The prices rose by 0.2 percent from March to April.
