4th Quarter 2024: KonSens Remains in Negative Territory
17 Feb 2025 - Notification
The ongoing uncertainty in the global economy is putting pressure on global foreign trade. As a consequence, Liechtenstein’s business cycle weakness continues. The value of the KonSens business cycle index increased slightly in the 4th quarter of 2024, from -1.1 to -0.8.
Liechtenstein’s foreign goods trade continued to develop sluggishly and the company survey data was also rather weak. The KonSens has now been in negative territory for twelve quarters, which signals below-average quarterly growth in historical comparison. This is the longest negative phase since the start of the KonSens time series.
