1st quarter 2025: KonSens still negative and declining again
12 May 2025 - Notification
Rising uncertainty in the global economy continued to weigh on international trade, contributing to ongoing weakness of Liechtenstein’s business cycle. The value of the KonSens business cycle index slightly fell in the 1st quarter of 2025 to −1.1, as Liechtenstein’s foreign goods trade remained sluggish and the company survey data were subdued.
The KonSens has now been in negative territory for thirteen quarters, which signals below-average quarterly growth in historical comparison. This is the longest negative phase since the start of the KonSens time series.
