The key findings are:

  • 64% of Austrian business in the UK expect a stable or improving development for the UK economy in 2024
  • Only 36% expect some deterioration in 2024, which is the second-best figure since the 2016 Brexit vote
  • 79% of respondents expect their company’s total revenue to increase or stagnate at the current level in 2024
  • Top 3 challenges are the availability of a qualified labour force, the cost of raw materials and the level of bureaucracy

Four years after Brexit, more than half of respondents are negatively affected by the post-Brexit regulatory and administrative framework. Top of the list are the administrative burden in import and export operations, transport and logistics issues and the planning uncertainty.
