08.03 Uhr: Minus 7 Prozent in Österreich laut Wifo-Modell

Die Maßnahmen im Zuge der Corona-Pandemie und die daraus resultierenden Einschränkungen des Wirtschaftsleben werden in Österreich in diesem Jahr zu einer Abnahme der CO2-Emissionen von insgesamt von 7,1 Prozent führen. Zu diesem Ergebnis kamen Ökonomen des Wirtschaftsforschungsinstitut Wifo mithilfe eines neuen Prognose-Tools, hieß es in einer Aussendung am Sonntag.

Diese Abnahme der Treibhausgas-Emissionen ist die direkte Folge der Veränderung der Wertschöpfung, die in fast allen Branchen zurückgehen wird, der daraus resultierende BIP-Rückgang wurde in einer Wifo-Prognose vom April mit 5,2 Prozent veranschlagt, in einem pessimistischeren Szenario könnte er 7,5 Prozent betragen. Nachdem die Höhe der CO2-Emissionen zusätzlich noch von Faktoren wie der Zahl jener Tage, an denen geheizt wird, beeinflusst wird, ist der genannte Rückgang nicht als Prognose der Treibhausgasinventur für das Jahr 2020 zu verstehen.
