IMF Predicts Economic Growth for Austria in 2025
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has shared its predictions for Austria’s economy, forecasting a positive change in the coming years. According to the IMF, Austria’s real GDP is expected to grow by 1.1% in 2025, showing an improvement from the current economic situation. However, for 2024, the IMF anticipates a 0.6% decline in economic output, aligning with the forecasts of Austrian economic institutions like the Austrian Institute of Economic Research and the Institute for Advanced Studies (IHS).
While the IMF’s 2025 growth projection is slightly more optimistic than the main Austrian institutions’ forecasts, which range from 1% by Wifo to 0.8% by IHS, Bank Austria economists are even more hopeful. They predict a 1.5% growth in Austria’s economy for 2025. This optimism is based on expected improvements in investment conditions and the positive impact of global economic recovery, particularly from growth engines outside Europe.
