After a contraction in the second quarter of 2025, Austria's economy has shown a modest turnaround in the third quarter. According to the latest data updated on October 30, 2025, the country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP) saw a quarter-over-quarter increase of 0.1%. This marks a notable positive shift from the previous quarter's performance, where the GDP had stalled at -0.1%.
This transition into positive territory suggests a potential stabilization or early recovery phase for Austria's economy, which had been teetering with negative growth earlier this year. The slight uptick may reflect the beginning effects of strategic economic policies or a recovery in sectors that had been previously sluggish.
As analysts and policymakers digest these new figures, attention will likely turn to measures that can sustain and enhance this growth trajectory. The small but positive change is a hopeful sign for Austria’s economic outlook as the country navigates through global economic uncertainties.
