Austria’s economy showed no momentum shift at the start of the year, with gross domestic product (GDP) growth in the first quarter holding unchanged at 0.2% quarter‑on‑quarter. According to data updated on 05 June 2026, the current reading for Q1 2026 matches the previous quarter’s 0.2% expansion, on the same quarter‑over‑quarter comparison basis.
The figures indicate that, while Austria is avoiding contraction, it is also not yet breaking out into stronger growth. The “actual” measure reflects the change in output from the current quarter to the immediately preceding one, while the “previous” figure captures the earlier quarter’s change relative to the quarter before that. With both readings stuck at 0.2%, the data underscore a period of stability rather than acceleration in Austria’s near‑term economic trajectory.
