Credit Cycle Position
Austria's credit cycle analysis generates a SIGMA score of 43.5/100 (STABLE regime). The credit cycle position determines whether Austria is in the expansion phase (rising leverage, loosening standards), the mature phase (peak credit), or the contraction phase (deleveraging, defaults rising).
The SIGMA Engine v5.0 derives this score from eight deterministic analytical layers: metabolic lifecycle entropy (β=0.887, biological age 164 months), structural fragility (Minsky phase: hedge), NLP narrative divergence (0.0%), network contagion (R₀=1.253, percolation intact), and predictive signals (CSD=30.0, Hawkes λ=0.1000).
Regime probability distribution as of 2026-10-13: stable 31.3% / accumulation 26.0% / critical 24.3% / collapse 18.5%. The Hurst exponent of 0.695 indicates strong trend persistence — risk trajectory statistically likely to deepen.
Based on Markov chain transition probability from current STABLE regime. Kairos arbitrage window: 31 days.
