Abstract: This report provides the first results of the Eurosystem Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS) for Austria. The HFCS covers households’ real assets, financial assets and debt, thereby for the first time allowing an analysis of Austrian households’ net wealth. The rich data on which the HFCS is based facilitate the analysis of a multitude of issues relevant to monetary policy and financial stability. The main objective of this report is to describe net wealth and the underlying household assets and liabilities in Austria. Additionally, it looks into the relationship between a number of key socio-economic characteristics of households and net wealth. Finally, the study gives brief insights on debt, inheritances, savings and consumption.
