Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS
Austria's gross savings was 25.75% in 2025, ranked 51st globally. This represents a 1.2% increase from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 1980–2025.
Overview
Austria's gross savings stood at 25.75% in 2025, a rise of +0.31% from 2024. The IMF projects 25.75% by 2025. Austria ranked 51st globally.
Austria’s gross savings rate has shown modest variation over the 46‑year series, slipping from an early‑period high of 26.06 in 1980 to a historic low of 22.10 in 1983 before climbing to a post‑pandemic peak of 29.47 in 2021. By 2025 the rate stood at 25.75, placing Austria 51st in the global ranking and closely aligning with peers such as Slovenia (25.44) and Côte d’Ivoire (25.96). The early‑1980s trough reflects the combined impact of recessionary pressures and lower household income, while the 2021 peak coincides with elevated savings during COVID‑19‑induced uncertainty and fiscal stimulus. Since the peak, the savings share has receded gradually, suggesting a return to pre‑crisis consumption patterns. Continued demographic aging and potential fiscal tightening could further dampen the savings ratio, whereas stronger wage growth or higher interest rates might revive the upward trend.
