Austria’s economy flatlined at the end of 2025, with gross domestic product (GDP) growth coming in at 0.0% quarter-on-quarter in the fourth quarter, according to data updated on 5 March 2026. This marks a slowdown from the previous quarter’s modest 0.3% expansion, also recorded in the fourth quarter of 2025 on a quarter-on-quarter basis.
The comparison is based on quarter-over-quarter changes, with the current reading reflecting no growth versus the prior quarter, while the earlier 0.3% figure captured growth in the previous quarter compared with the one before it. The latest data suggest that Austria’s economic momentum has weakened, as the economy moved from slight expansion to a standstill over the period under review.\/body
