OECD – Economic Survey of Austria: Strengthening Growth and Public Finances, 2026

The report focuses on Austria's economic recovery following the 2023-2024 recession.

It discusses the gradual rise in economic growth projected for 2025-2027, the decline of inflation from previous peaks, and the importance of strong fiscal discipline to ensure public debt sustainability. The survey also highlights the need for better targeting of family-related transfers to lower-income households and sees the retirement of public servants as an opportunity to modernize administration. Additionally, it analyzes government debt, fiscal balance, and policy scenarios related to ageing, health, defence, and climate transition costs.
