Austria’s economic growth eased in the final months of 2025, with gross domestic product (GDP) rising 0.2% quarter-over-quarter in the fourth quarter, down from a 0.4% increase in the third quarter of 2025. The latest data, updated on 30 January 2026, indicate that momentum in the Austrian economy has moderated as the year drew to a close.
On a quarter-over-quarter basis, the current reading compares the change in GDP in the fourth quarter of 2025 with the third quarter, while the previous figure measured the change in the third quarter relative to the second quarter. The slowdown from 0.4% to 0.2% signals a softening, but not a reversal, in Austria’s growth trend heading into 2026.
