India, June 3 -- The Austrian economy expanded as initially estimate in the first quarter, the latest data from Statistics Austria showed on Wednesday.

Gross domestic product advanced 0.2 percent sequentially, the same as in the previous quarter, revised from a flat change seen in the flash estimate published by the WIFO economic institute on April 30.

"This growth can be attributed primarily to the manufacturing of goods and public consumption," Manuela Lenk, Director General Statistics of Statistics Austria, said.
