Austria's Economy Sees Light at the End of the Tunnel. Economic Outlook for 2025 to 2027

Stefan Ederer and Stefan Schiman-Vukan

WIFO Reports on Austria, 2026, issue 1

Abstract: Austria's economy is recovering over the projection period from a recession that, according to the revised National Accounts, proved comparably severe to Germany's. The rebound is driven by private consumption, while foreign trade in goods continues to contract for the time being. Residential construction is picking up earlier than equipment investment, thanks to falling interest rates. Moderate wage settlements are expected to curb real-wage growth in 2026 and improve corporate profitability. Inflation will decline during the forecasting period, and the unemployment rate will reach a plateau.
